The House of Delegates granted honor roll status to 238 AVMA members at the annual meeting in Salt Lake City. These members have maintained membership for a period of 40 years or more and have reached the age of 70, or have reached the age of 72 and maintained continuous membership since graduation. Earlier this year, the new honor roll members were sent their gold honor-roll membership cards.

These new AVMA honor roll members took a break from the fun, food, and activities at the General Session at the Annual Convention in Salt Lake City to pause for a picture.
