    About this ebook

    The AVMA 20/20 Vision Commission was established by the AVMA Executive Board in January 2010. Commission members were charged with creating a progressive vision for the AVMA and making recommendations to ensure that the Association achieves this vision and continues to be relevant and responsive to its members and the general public.

    The Executive Summary and full Commission report as presented to the AVMA Executive Board on March 24, 2011 are presented in this e-book. According to the Commission, this report "should be viewed as an optimistic framework for a considerable amount of further work that will need to be done to successfully position AVMA for the future and achieve its vision."

      EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

      The AVMA Executive Board created the AVMA 20/20 Vision Commission and charged its members to create a progressive vision for AVMA and make recommendations to ensure that the Association achieves this vision and continues to be relevant and responsive to its members and the general public.

      Commission members concluded that great leaders and organizations have the capacity to improve what is, and concurrently, create what isn’t. While Commission members acknowledge and applaud AVMA’s efforts that strive for continuous improvement and support its current activities, the Commission focused most of its attention on creating what isn’t—a new vision and associated pathways that will create an organization for 2020 that is profoundly different than the association of today.

      The next decade is likely to usher in the most significant changes in AVMA’s history—changes that are being driven by unprecedented globalization, remarkable technological advances and socio-economic changes. AVMA needs to create clarity in times of growing societal ambiguity and uncertainty, increasing global complexity, and increasing changes in expectations of members and stakeholders. The veterinary profession and the AVMA are being challenged to reconcile a fundamental shift of the profession from one that has traditionally prided itself on its strong independence, to now, integrating itself into a new interdependency that calls into question how AVMA works, operates, what it does and who are its future partners and members.

      In order to reconcile these challenges, the Commission strongly endorses an organizational transformation leading to a new vision and the adoption of key strategies that will guide it to achieving the vision. The proposed vision for AVMA should be both inspirational and aspirational for AVMA membership, leadership and stakeholders. The Commission proposes the following vision.

      The Association is the nation’s leader in advancing veterinary medicine by:

      Establishing and advancing a national agenda focused on the health and welfare of animals and their importance to our society

      Securing a vital and economically viable future for all facets of the veterinary profession

      Ensuring public appreciation and support for veterinary medicine to enable the profession to fulfill its essential role

      Operating in a global context, recognizing the critical contribution that US veterinarians play internationally including global health, trade, food safety and security, and education

      Building dynamic partnerships with key groups and sectors, both internally and externally, to ensure effective collaboration on issues of shared importance

      Contributing to the growth and health of the veterinary profession, including ensuring that membership in the profession reflects the full spectrum of Americans

      Functioning in a manner that promotes high trust, broad participation, and commitment among its diverse membership and other key stakeholders

      Ensuring the organization expands its portfolio of opportunities and activities in animal welfare, research, emergency response, and public health, and drives demand

      Unifying the diverse interests and specialties in the profession toward a common purpose and sense of community

      Operating and governing proactively,
