Resolving Issues
Affecting Women in the
Veterinary Profession
March 26, 2015
The veterinary profession has undergone a great
demographic shift over the past 25 years, but the
change in leadership hasn’t kept pace. Women, now
more than half of the profession and rising, need to
be better represented in leadership roles in their
practice, their community and in organized veterinary
medicine, if we’re to deliver on the promise of
veterinary medicine to society for the future.
The NJVMA is dedicated to helping develop those
leaders and to achieve a stronger, more diverse and
personally rewarding profession.
It’s not a job we can tackle alone. We need the
support and cooperation of all members of the
NJVMA- veterinarians, technicians and practice
managers of both genders, who understand that the
future of veterinary medicine is tied to the success of
the people in the profession. Help us to help you,
and help lead our profession into the future.
In November, the NJVMA conducted a forum to identify
issues facing women in the veterinary community.
We identified the following issues as being of the
most interest to members:
{
}
Work/Life Balance
Self Esteem and Effectiveness in Practice
Generational Differences in Work Ethic
What’s in it For You? Participating in the NJVMA
Benefits of Mentoring
Gender Differences in Communication Styles
Financial Concerns: Business and Personal
Women’s Health in the Workplace: Pregnancy
Sexual Harassment
The purpose of the March 26th meeting will be to
break up into work groups, with a topic assigned to
each group, to identify tools and resources the NJVMA
can develop to help our members address those
issues. We anticipate approximately 30-40 minutes for
each group, then rotating to a different topic.
Registration is FREE to all NJVMA Practice Members
(Veterinarians, Technicians, Managers and Office Staff)
and NJVHMA Members. Non-Member cost is $50
per person.
We have lined up an outstanding panel of facilitators
to assist us in this program.
