    We hope you will join us on Monday, November 14th at 11am PT/2pm ET for our     next Community Conversations call. 

    Our featured speaker will be Dr. @Serena Nayee Founder & Executive Director of Chapter VIII. Chapter VIII: Veterinary Inclusion and Intersectionality Initiative was founded in 2020 to empower underrepresented groups within veterinary medicine by way of advocacy, accessibility, and art. The organization aims to reach people who belong to multiple underrepresented or marginalized groups based on race, ethnicity, disability, class, gender, and sexuality. Identifying and understanding intersectionality of underrepresentation is integral to addressing systemic racism and understanding privilege within our profession and beyond. Knowledge on the spectrum of privilege affects our ability to provide access to the spectrum of care. To highlight these values, we seek to enhance equitable education and clinical care opportunities for underrepresented communities within and outside of the veterinary profession.

      • "Good morning from Wonder Dog Ranch. Our best holiday promotion is our Santa Paws Project: fundraising for a contribution for a picture with a real live natural Santa who happens to be a dog breeder" - Brenda Trainor
      • "We did a Santa photos with pets where the people had to walk past the adoption floor to get to where the photos were taken. While they were waiting in line it gave them the opportunity to see the pets up for adoption and interact with them through the windows." - Candice Hinkle

I work for Orlando Health and help raise funds for our pet therapy program and bringing animal assisted therapy for our patients. Putting dogs at work" - Harrison Porter

    Highlights from the chat
    • "#ThanksToMaddies for the $1000 grant for October. I'm president of the Tompkins Foundation for FeLV Advocacy. That money will be used to TNR community cats. Since most FeLV comes from cats fighting, mating, and having kittens, just getting cats spayed & neutered greatly reduces the chance of the virus spreading. #ThanksToMaddies for this generous gift!!" -Margaret Tompkins 
    • "Thank you for sharing the importance around mental health and the importance of carrying for those around us. As a loved one in the profession who took their life - I am grateful for advocates who work to provide systems of support for people in the space." - Harrison Porter
    • "Feeding Pets of the Homeless provides free veterinary care to pets that belong to people experiencing homelessness. We have over 1,400 active hospitals in our network across the country." -Genevieve Frederick 
    • "SurgiPet is here in Buford, GA providing low cost emergency surgery and dentistry. We are trying to be a better option than 'Economic Euthanasia'." -Stephanie Patterson 
    • "Amazing concept that addresses so many issues across our industry - thank you for this work!" -Mehnaz Aziz 
    • "Your work is amazing so glad you and Dr. Blackwell have been able to chat. I hope that our programs grow together." - Candice Hinkle
    • "This is giving me goosebumps! Yeah!" -Beth Caffrey
    • "Great work! I'm excited to see this develop!" -Jyothi Robertson
    • "This definitely overlaps w/part of my nonprofit. I'm working w/Atlanta University Center to start prevet clubs, and provide scholarships to diversity, and the Atlanta Dog Rescue Cafe works to provide education. I'm also working w/the assistance & police dogs." -Hope Winograd DVM
    • "Thank you for this, Dr. Serena! One of our One Health Clinics is located in a Youth and Young adults experiencing homelessness who are often BIPOC and/or LGTBQIA+TwoSpirit and they are very much interested in careers as vet techs (possibly seen as more attainable -as a first step- before DVM). Will be great to see how this gets implemented in Atlanta!" -Vickie Ramirez
