Additionally, IVPA hosted three town hall meetings, including a successful live Instagram event, significantly boosting awareness of the organization and its mission to support independently owned and locally operated veterinary practices amidst growing corporatization in the field. IVPA's committees actively secured partnerships with vendors and sponsors, bolstering support for the organization and its members, thus reinforcing the sustainability of independently owned veterinary practices.Looking ahead to 2024, IVPA's strategic focus will center on member acquisition, engagement, and retention. The year saw moderate growth in membership, underscoring IVPA's ongoing commitment to delivering valuable resources to member clinics.
