Connect With Your Legislator

What Does A Key Member Do?

CVMA members may be surprised by the number of personal connections veterinary professionals have with current legislators and newly elected officials in their communities. Many members are friends, neighbors, or acquaintances of these individuals, creating valuable opportunities for the CVMA to build relationships and establish trusted “Key Members” in every legislative district.

As a CVMA Key Member, you can: 

  • Attend local fundraising events for candidates and incumbents
  • Help establish a connection directly with Assemblymembers and Senators, as well as other local elected officials and business leaders, in a more casual setting.
  • Serve as a local CVMA contact and help maintain relationships.
  • Share relevant veterinary profession perspectives.

It’s a great way to make your voice heard—right in your community!
