Supporting individuals, groups, and organizations around the world in making a difference in the veterinary field is the driving force behind a recently inaugurated award program.
Launched by the North American Veterinary Community (NAVC), with an initial funding of $1 million, NAVC Gives is a board-directed award program in support of those working to advance the veterinary profession and wellbeing of people and animals. The program will grant awards throughout the year, recognizing notable achievements and accomplishments within the industry. Multiple awards may be given out annually.
“NAVC Gives is a unique grassroots award program that seeks to shine the light on those who are making a difference in the animal health field – whether it’s transforming veterinary medicine or saving one animal or person in distress in a local veterinary clinic. In addition to recognizing these accomplishments, we hope to make an impact on a personal level with a cash award,” says NAVC CEO Gene O’Neill.
Nominations for NAVC Gives can be made online, and will be evaluated on a merit-based scale. Recipients will be selected based on their excellence, impact, and alignment with the NAVC’s mission. The NAVC Gives inaugural winners will be announced at the VMX 2024 in January.
