Who exactly is the AVMA? You are, of course, and you have lots of stories to tell. We tend to share the benefits of AVMA membership in list form, but there's something priceless about storytelling. That's why we introduced the "I am AVMA" campaign that allows our members — that's you — to tell in your own words how AVMA membership benefits you and the profession.
If you have a story to share, we'd sure like to hear it. Send us an email and be featured here along with other AVMA Members.
Look for "I am AVMA" profiles in each edition of JAVMA, check out the profiles here and take a peek at our new I am AVMA video.
