Why did I decide to volunteer? It was a very simple statement someone once said to me. “Volunteers do not need time; they just need heart.”  I have that!  I love this profession; the science, the innovation, the people, the animal bond and everything in between. Great ideas with great people lead to great change! My time as a leader with PVMA has allowed me to network and develop relationships that will last a lifetime.
