The CVMA is proud to announce that starting July 1, 2026, the CVMA’s Legal Services Program will be provided through Klinedinst PC, a premier California-based law firm with offices throughout the state and beyond. For over 25 years, Klinedinst has represented the veterinary profession on matters large and small—including through liability insurance policies brokered through Veterinary Insurance Services Company (VISC)—and has been the principal firm representing veterinarians in both license-related matters before the California Veterinary Medical Board (CVMB) and in disputes before California civil courts.

Each year, the CVMA recognizes individuals and organizations that have contributed to organized veterinary medicine through their participation in CVMA activities and improving the human-animal bond. These individuals represent the very best of the veterinary profession in California. Congratulations to this year’s CVMA award recipient! We will spotlight her achievements in an upcoming issue of the California Veterinarian magazine.
