As the veterinary profession now moves into alignment with society-at-large, LGVMA, too, is evolving. We strive to promote inclusion and community in the veterinary profession for our colleagues, our clients and our community as a whole. Holding true to this model of inclusivity, in 2018 we changed our organization’s name to Pride Veterinary Medical Community (PrideVMC) in order to provide an umbrella to the various sexualities, gender presentations and gender identities present in our wonderful community. And while our name has had various iterations over the years, what holds true is our vision: one in which everyone in our profession and beyond can live to their full potential, both personally and professionally, conduct their lives openly and with integrity, and freely share their experience and wisdom for the betterment of and care for ourselves, our profession, our clients and all animals.
We continue to strive to be as inclusive as possible by welcoming the entire rainbow as well as our allies.
