HVMA President
Aloha HVMA members!
Happy New Year & Kung Hei Fat Choy! Coming into 2025, I’m very excited to lead us into the next two years! Our past president, Dr. Jenee Odani has done a wonderful job and I can only hope to carry on her excellent work and continue to build momentum for our Hawai’i vet community.
Jenee will continue to be on the board as the past president, alternate AVMA delegate, friend and mentor. In fact, the broad range of expertise of the veterinarians on the board is quite impressive! From our executive VP, zoo vet Dr. Jill Yoshicedo to our newest island representatives Drs. Raquel Wong, Gabrielle Asay, and Melissa Shaw, we not only represent small animal medicine but government, industry, small/large/exotic/aquatic/zoo animal medicine, holistic & rehab medicine, specialty, and of course small business owners.
Each newsletter we feature a board member along with any news both locally and nationally from AVMA and highlights of important events. Yet we continue to try to add to our breadth to make sure everyone is represented! Please consider joining the board! We are actively looking for outer island delegates and we will always accept help on committees. As a volunteer organization, I like to think that every member is passionate about advancing veterinary medicine and animal welfare in Hawai’i! Please encourage your fellow vets to join HVMA and let’s do good!
