NAVC Conference General Session
FEATURING LAILA ALI
Saturday, January 17 • 9:15 – 10:15 AM
Open to all! • Marriott | Sago
Laila Ali, an athlete and champion of health and fitness, is a perfect role
model for today’s healthy, on-the-go woman and of course, women in
the veterinary profession. The youngest daughter of Veronica Porsche
Anderson and of the legendary Muhammad Ali, she is a strong,
intelligent woman, daughter and wife. Equally as important, Laila
possesses a unique blend of personality and celebrity status, yet retains
an innate sense of being “every woman.”
Here, at the NAVC Conference 2015, she’ll be speaking on the
emerging role of women veterinary professionals and how we can
LEAD THE WAY.
