Session Topic: Natives in VetMed: A Guided Facilitation of their Journey, Moments of Enlightenment, and Vision for the Future
We hear and maybe even say that representation matters--but what actions are we taking to empower representation? Let's look at what progress "commiserating" can generate. We will speak with Natives in VetMed members about their journey and why their experience matters in the veterinary and animal welfare space. They will discuss challenges and shining lights in their journey and why they continue to fight for a place in the animal field despite abundant barriers. By understanding their "why" it matters can help each of us make conscientious choices in our own areas.
About Community Conversations:
Maddie’s Fund, hosts a weekly hour-long Zoom call for animal well-being professionals. These calls are a collaborative space to share exciting new programs and research, discuss uncomfortable topics, connect with peers in the industry, and more, all while sharing a common goal of preserving the human-animal bond.
This call, recurring each Monday unless otherwise posted, is for executive directors, animal well-being leaders, shelter workers, pet support professionals, volunteers, and rescue organizations.
