🌟 Shoutout to HVPMA member, Addie Cruse! 🌟
Addie brilliantly suggested the idea for enamel pins!
Unfortunately, she couldn't join us last week due to the weather, but we didn't want her to miss out on the fun!
Addie, your suggestion was spot on, and now we've got these awesome enamel pins to show for it!
We want to see where YOUR pins ended up! Share a pic in the comments below! 💫

This past week was our 2nd CE meeting of our many HVPMA meetings!!
We had the pleasure of hosting the AMAZING Senani Ratnayake, BSc, RVT and having the pleasure to gain knowledge to take back to our hospitals.
With the weather being in true Texas fashion, it was still a great turnout nonetheless. We love seeing so many familiar faces, and new faces of course.
A huge shout out to all of our sponsors that make this all possible, and for the incredible raffle prices that our group was able to win.
We look forward to hosting more amazing speakers, and be able to see all of our fabulous members.

Thank you to Elanco for sponsoring the Gorilla Feeding experience. Choco the make Gorilla loved the nuts and was pretty good at catching them!
Gorillas can be somewhat distracting. Even Eric had a blast!
HVPMA supports, encourages and empowers Veterinary Practice Managers
The Houston Veterinary Practice Managers Association was created to bond Veterinary Practice managers to their fellow cohorts, as well as mentor and grow leaders in the industry!
Our Mission
Promoting quality leadership in veterinary management by providing professional support, encouraging individual growth, and empowering managers to reach their fullest potential.
Our History
In 2009 a group of 5 practice managers and one practice owner set out on a mission to provide a forum for veterinary practice managers. The purpose of the forum was to share ideas on tackling the everyday issues we all face in trying to manage our practices and somehow remain sane thru it all. Little did the organizing members realize what a success the group would become. In 2015, a few members of the Annual Meeting Planning Committee decided it would be beneficial to the group to re-organize and form a board of directors to ensure the continued success of the group. The board felt it was important to set a mission and vision for the group and establish strategies for continued growth and success.
