President's Fall Greeting

Greetings Wyoming Veterinary Medical Association Members,

As the newly elected President for 2025-2026, I am honored to serve this dedicated community of veterinary professionals. I want to express my sincere appreciation for your commitment to advancing veterinary medicine in our great state of Wyoming.

Our board is actively working to strengthen our organization and enhance your membership experience. We are currently updating our bylaws to better reflect the evolving needs of our profession. If you are interested in being part of this meaningful change, I encourage you to join our newly formed bylaws committee—your voice and expertise are vital.

The landscape of veterinary medicine is changing rapidly, and it is essential for us to be proactive and engaged at local, regional, and national levels. Staying informed about emerging issues not only benefits our profession but also serves our duty to provide the best possible care to our animal patients. I remind each of you that active participation in these broader discussions is in all our best interests and vital for the future of veterinary medicine in Wyoming.

Recognizing the unique challenges faced in our rural communities, our board has established a Rural Veterinary Shortage Committee. This group will explore solutions tailored to Wyoming’s distinctive veterinary and animal environment. We need your assistance to build a strong, effective committee—your insights and participation are crucial to our success.

Finally, our commitment to your professional development remains unwavering. We have formed a Continuing Education Committee dedicated to providing high-quality educational opportunities. If you're interested in helping us enhance our CE programs, please consider participating in the committee and be a part of our efforts to keep you well-informed and skilled.

Together, we can continue to advance veterinary medicine in Wyoming and ensure a vibrant and resilient future for our profession. Thank you for your dedication and support.

Sincerely,
