President’s Notes – December
Dear Colleagues,
As we wrap up another year together, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on everything we’ve shared as an organization. From neurology to internal medicine, oncology, nutrition, microbiome science, and emerging diagnostic technologies, each meeting this year has brought something unique, practical, and inspiring to our collective growth as veterinarians.
We’ve had the privilege of learning from an incredible lineup of speakers and partnering with organizations dedicated to supporting our patients and our profession. Whether it was diving deeper into complex cases, discovering new tools for diagnosis, or exploring innovative treatments, each session reminded me of how committed and passionate this community truly is.
Thank you to each of you for attending, participating, asking questions, sharing cases, and supporting one another throughout the year. Your presence is what makes our meetings meaningful and our organization strong.
It has truly been an honor to serve as your president this year. I appreciate the trust you placed in me and the enthusiasm you’ve brought to every meeting. I’m grateful for the opportunity to help guide our continuing education and foster the sense of camaraderie that makes our group so special.
I wish all of you—and your teams, families, and patients—the very best in the coming year. May our organization continue to grow, learn, and support the veterinary community for many years to come.
Warmest regards,
Christina Minton, DVM
President Tarrant County Veterinary Medical Association
