Career Exploration & Shadow Program
Deciding you want to want to become a veterinarian or technician might happen when you are 5 or 6 and stay with you forever, or might be something you come to a bit later – say in college.
 
LIVMA’s Career Exploration Program co-hosted with Cornell Cooperative Extension is celebrating its 29th year this year.
Please join me at the podium Drs. David Hensen, Andrea O'Keeffe, Martin Zipkin,
as we recognize you for your service to this LIVMA program. In particular I would like to point out that Dr. Dee Hensen, who is hosting a Career Exploration Class tonight, has helped to oversee this program for all 29 – soon 30 years. Again, there are many more Shadow Veterinarians who could not join us, but we appreciate their service. And, we also want to thank Ms. Katherine Perez from the Cornell Cooperative Extension Suffolk County Farm.

LIVMA Past President Awards
Serving on the Board is one job – being President is quite another.
 
Over the last few terms, each of the members who have served as LIVMA  President have done so for two terms, and during significant times of change. As the New York State Veterinary Medical Society underwent growth, renewal and was re-organized under new leadership LIVMA needed to work alongside the state society to ensure our continued service to our members.

Dr. Robin Sturtz began her term in 2018 and served through 2019 and we thank her for her service.
