Annual Celebration
By Jim Bell
S
Dr. Hawkins welcomes, Dr. Nowell
as SCVMA President
CVMA took a step forward -
to the way it used to be - on
February 4, when the Annual
Celebration
convened
Last year, the event was postponed until
s s
ond month.
at
the
Long Beach Hyatt Regency Hotel
on the first Saturday of the
year's second month.
April 30. The previous Celebration was canceled
because of the Covid pandemic.
A lively crowd welcomed the event. Old
friendships were
renewed and new friends
made. And everyone - perhaps in the neighborhood
of 200 people -enjoyed interacting
with other professionals.
Dr. Megan Nowell, SCVMA's 2023 presi-
p
2023 SCVMA Board of Trustees
dent, noted in her speech to the group that, " as
an organization, we survived and thrived during
the pandemic. Under the leadership of Dr. [Peter]
Weinstein and Dr. [Jennifer] Hawkins we
were able to reimagine what it meant to serve
our members and adapt to our new world. "
Dr. Hawkins, who replaced Dr. Weinstein as
Alison Pankowski presents the Don Mahan
Award to her mother, Dr. Diane Craig
executive director more than a year ago, said in
her remarks that people are in associations " because
we value the connection and the camaraderie
we experience when we get together with
other professionals, and we wish to support that
connection with all members of our industry. "
Those who attended seemed to agree.
Dr. Nowell said that she hopes " to help the
SCVMA continue to meet the needs of an
ever-changing profession.
" I look forward to working with the wonderPhil
Steinhauer Award winner Elizabeth
Goldstone with Marnelle & Jennifer
12
ful individuals on the board, whose collective
experience represents the many sides of veterinary
medicine - from associates to practice
owners, specialty medicine to allied industry to
general practice, recent grads and not-so-recent
grads, and a practice manager who welcomed
me into her hospital for a fourth-year rotation
when I was finishing veterinary school.
" And I look forward to working alongside
and learning from Dr. Hawkins, who is an accomplished
leader and fearless vet mom, as she
continues to guide the SCVMA. "
(Dr. Nowell's
two young children, her son Nolan, 2½,
and daughter Logan, nine months, joined their
mom and dad, Ryan Chanou, at the event.)
In support of her point that SCVMA did
well during the pandemic, Dr. Nowell said that
the association " provided more online continuing
education content than ever before to meet
the needs of our profession, " that it continued
its work with monthly Downtown Dog Rescue
free clinics for low-income families, shifting to
curbside service, and that Angel Fund grants
provided through partnership with the Animal
Health Foundation totaled more than $40,000
to help pet owners since 2018, saving pets' lives
and keeping families together.
She also noted that the association had honored
" the best and brightest of our profession
through nominations by their peers " and that
SCVMA support for students - both DVM
and RVT - through the Education and Scholarship
Foundation - had increased both in the
number of grants and amount of the awards.
The Board of Trustees also has created a
DEI task force, she said, and is " committed
to providing continuing education on diversity,
equity, and inclusion for our members, to
providing DEI training for our board and the
SCVMA staff, to highlighting under-represented
and minority veterinary professionals in
the PULSE magazine and working to remove
barriers to access to veterinary medicine. "
Dr. Nowell also lauded the board for its
work guided by Dr. Raymond de Villa - in replacing
Dr. Weinstein - " the only face of SCVMA
that I had ever known. " The selection of
Dr. Hawkins was " one of the biggest and best
accomplishments of the board, " she said.
