The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) is encouraging members who have graduated from vet school within the past 15 years, to join its Future Leaders program.
The AVMA Future Leaders program, sponsored by Zoetis Animal Health, seeks to develop the strengths and talents of veterinarians to benefit the profession and society through leadership in organized veterinary medicine. To develop those skills, participants complete 360-degree assessments and follow short- and long-term goals, while also fostering individual relationships with prominent veterinarians in the field and participating in leadership lectures.
In addition, each class of Future Leaders works together to strengthen their teambuilding and project-management skills and to develop resources for AVMA members to utilize.
The AVMA has a new video highlighting its Future Leaders program and featuring the 10 members of the 2013-2014 AVMA Future Leaders program discussing what it means to be a leader and asking veterinarians to “help make history and push our profession into the future it deserves.”
