Benefiting

Dr. William “Bill” Grant, II was practically born into organized veterinary medicine. His father was active in the CVMA, the Southern California Veterinary Medical Association (SCVMA), and the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), while his mother served as the President of the AVMA Auxiliary. Dr. Grant continued this legacy early on, becoming involved in organized veterinary medicine while attending university and serving as President of the Student American Veterinary Medical Association.

Dr. Grant immediately became involved in the CVMA after graduation. Among the many positions he has held, Dr. Grant served as the CVMA President (2008–2009), as a CVMA House of Delegates member (1998–2004), and as the CVMA District II Governor (2004–2010). The list of task forces and committees on which Dr. Grant has served is similarly extensive, including the Ways and Means Committee (2009–2019) and the AVMA Advisory Committee (2010–present). He is currently the AVMA Advisory Committee Chair, the CVMA Representative to the AVMA House of Delegates, and has been a member of the Finance Committee since 2006. Even with all of the above accomplishments, perhaps Dr. Grant’s most significant contribution to the CVMA has been his tireless involvement with its insurance program, spanning over 30 years. He sat on the Insurance Committee from 1991–2007, twice serving as its chair. Dr. Grant has also served on the Veterinary Insurance Services Company (VISC) Board in a variety of capacities, including as its director from 2007–2013 and in 2019, and as a consultant in 2018. He also currently serves as the chair of the VISC Board, a role he previously held from 2010–2013 as well.
