HumaneVMA State Representatives

In October 2014, HumaneVMA piloted a State Representative Program consisting of four State Representatives-in California, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Rhode Island-who accomplished a great deal of successful outreach in a short period of time.  The HumaneVMA State Representative program is now in full swing and our talented team continues its US expansion.

The HumaneVMA State Rep network consists of active volunteer veterinarian liaisons who conduct outreach on behalf of HumaneVMA to their respective state veterinary medical associations and the broader profession, and serve as resources on animal welfare-related issues for the veterinary community.  They also help the organization with advocacy on legislative initiatives, provide expert witness testimony, submit legislative support letters, write letters to the editor, offer opinion pieces to media outlets and publish articles in professional journals.  They also join with us in membership outreach at veterinary conferences, give talks at veterinary medical colleges and to other professional groups and provide us with vital first-hand perspectives "from the field".
