what members are saying...

I love to stay involved so I can know what’s going on in my profession, relay that information, and mentor fellow technicians that I lead.

I want to be a part of organized veterinary medicine and be informed of what is happening in my state.

I’m an active member of the CVMA because the CVMA excels at advocacy compared to other organizations. The CVMA defends our interests at the Capitol with regard to scope of practice and government intrusion. Essential and invaluable!

The CVMA provides so many important benefits and services that enhance my veterinary career. I feel I am a part of a large veterinary family, something much bigger than myself.
