President’s Statement  —  September 2025

Dear Colleagues,

As summer winds down and we move into fall, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the upcoming fire season. Each year, wildfires remind us of the vital role veterinarians can play in disaster preparedness and response. For those of you who may be interested, I encourage you to consider volunteering with the California Veterinary Medical Reserve Corps (CAVMRC). This dedicated group of veterinary professionals helps provide care for animals during emergencies, and participation is both impactful and deeply rewarding.

The CAVMRC is also offering an upcoming virtual low-cost continuing education opportunity on October 26. This is a great way to stay current while supporting the important work of this organization. Details on how to get involved and register for the fall training at this link: https://cavmrc.net/volunteer-for-the-cavmrc

In addition, our partners at the San Francisco Department of Public Health have provided us with an update on the current status of avian influenza (HPAI) and its local implications. This is an evolving situation, and I look forward to passing along their insights to keep our community informed and prepared.
