The
LCVMA originally operated as a chapter of the Colorado Veterinary
Medical Association. It later became an unincorporated association
until incorporation in 1998. It has and will continue to provide the
following services:
Promote
awareness of veterinary medicine in Larimer County.
Provide
a uniform Rabies tag/licensing system for Larimer County Health
Department. The Department requested that LCVMA take over this responsibility
in 1991. This is not a profit-oriented service, but rather just
a service that removes a burden from the government.
Provide
monies for scholarships and the Larimer County Humane Society. The
LCVMA annually supports the local humane society with funds and
provides scholarship money to the Colorado State University Foundation
for students in veterinary medicine.
Provide
a forum for local veterinarians through socialization and continuing
education presentations at each meeting. These activities provide
the members with additional tools to improve their individual practices.
Sources
of financial support for LCVMA are rabies licensing for Larimer
County and membership dues.
LCVMA
represents veterinarians of District 2 in the Colorado Veterinary
Medical Association. Our representative is Dr. Ursula Eckert-Peterson
from Loveland, CO.
