Florida State Conference NAACP

At the FVMA, we are here to support those whose support never ends by providing education, innovation, advocacy, and, most importantly, a helping hand.Our mission is to keep the passion of every veterinarian, technician, practice manager, and veterinary assistant fully focused on their patients. They need more than a helping hand. They need a champion. Someone to work behind the scenes as tirelessly as they do. They need someone to go to bat for them, whether its in the clinic, on the farm, or in the halls of government. They need an advocate to improve animal health and safety, to address the mental and physical toll of the profession, to ensure practices are running smoothly, and to keep the entire community educated.
