The Larimer
County Veterinary Medical Association (LCVMA) originally operated as a
chapter of the Colorado Veterinary Medical Association. It later became
an unincorporated association until incorporation in 1998. In December 2016, the members of LCVMA voted to remain an independent organization, rather than join CVMA as a chapter organization, under their new model.
LCVMA has and will
continue to provide the following services:
- Promote awareness
of veterinary medicine in Larimer County. This is a traditional activity
of a business association.
- Provide a forum
for local veterinarians through socialization and continuing education
presentations at each meeting. These activities provide the membership
with additional tools to improve their individual practices.
Sources of financial support to LCVMA come from the following:
- Annual membership
dues - primarily
- Corporate sponsors provide some of the meals and venues for our meetings
What
We Do
LCVMA organizes educational meetings for its membership. Topics vary within the veterinary fields and are often sponsored by animal health corporations. Many meetings are funded by membership dues. Continuing education credits are not always offered, but most presentations are approved for CE credit.
