Aloha HVMA Members,
Pet Expo is right around the corner! Thousands of local families and their pets attend this annual event at the Blasidell Center on Mother’s Day weekend. As always, we need your help in representing the veterinary care component of responsible pet ownership. You and your support staff can make a difference in educating the public on the value and benefits of professional veterinary care. The HVMA will be hosting a booth on Common Household Dangers as well as a Kiddie Craft area. Please contact Dr. Lissa Kam at 845-1762 for more information or to sign up to help.
We are still looking for volunteers to help with our Membership outreach, Newsletter production, Website updates and Conference planning. Please contact us at contact@hawaiivetmed.org if you would like to get involved.
On the national level, the American Veterinary Medical Association is also looking for volunteers for their committees including Animal Welfare, Food Safety Advisory, and Disaster and Emergency Issues. For a full list of positions and details on applying, please check out https://www.avma.org/Members/Volunteer/BecomeAVolunteer/Pages/Committee-Trust-Liaison-Positions-Available-April-2017.aspx.
Thanks to each of you for your hard work contributing to and bettering our communities. If you would like to highlight an opportunity or event you’re involved with, please email newsletter@hawaiivetmed.org. We are here to support and advocate for you!
On behalf of your HVMA Board,
Jill Yoshicedo, DVM
