Help Us Grow Our Facebook Network

By Stephanie Fisher, Grassroots Coordinator

An active national grassroots network with representation across the country is needed to support the AVMA's legislative agenda. Having a strong base in every district means our voice will be heard in every office on Capitol Hill.

With thousands of members, the AVMA-CAN is represented in every state and almost every congressional district. This growing network includes people from all walks of life—from practicing veterinarians and veterinary students to people who are simply concerned with food safety and animal welfare issues.

To further these goals, the CAN has been reaching out to the state VMAs and SAVMA to create partnerships. We are creating an online network of veterinary medical associations to share information and resources. This network of VMAs is another resource to reach concerned members of the veterinary community and to get them involved in advocacy with the CAN.

Take a look at our Facebook fan page. We have started to link to the state VMA pages and will be sharing stories and information. Our Facebook group is also a great source for advocacy tools and information on how to get involved. Join us on Facebook and invite your friends!
