Dr. Ron DeHaven discusses the AVMA lobbying arm

The AVMA works through its Governmental Relations Division (GRD) in Washington, D.C., to impact legislation that comes out of Capitol Hill, which benefits AVMA members, veterinarians, and the general public. The AVMA-GRD has a staff of veterinarians who are experts on more than just veterinary medicine but also in politics. The efforts of the GRD also includes the work of the AVMA Congressional Advocacy Network, which is a grassroots organization. Visit http://avmacan.avma.org and learn how you can get involved.
