 “The weekend at the Veterinary Business Management Association National Meeting was full of networking, organizational planning, and leadership development. Dr. Andy Roark spoke with us about his 10 top tips for becoming leaders in the veterinary field.  He signed the card donning his name from my “Vets Against Insanity” game, a vet version of “Cards Against Humanity” that brought together VBMA leaders across schools for a night of laughs after a long day of work.” - Christie Donahue, Michigan State University, 2020 VBMA National Officer Meeting, Orlando, FL

“At the 2019 AAEP Convention, I received the opportunity to expand my knowledge of equine health and to share in the discussion of current issues affecting the sustainability of a career in equine veterinary medicine, such as mental health and balancing motherhood with the availability demands on equine practitioners. The information, connections, and insight I received from this experience have served to further my passion for equine medicine and for becoming an active advocate in reshaping the industry in pursuit of continuous advancement and diversified inclusion.” - Breanthony Baker, Texas A & M, 2019 AAEP Convention, Denver, CO
