Additionally, the AVMA will continue to provide association management and support services for the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (NAVTA). NAVTA continues to operate as an independent organization, and the services agreement, while focused on providing association management, is also reflective of a commitment to continue and enhance the organizations’ long-term relationship.
Together, the AVMA and NAVTA can work to achieve great things for the entire veterinary team and the veterinary profession.
