President’s Letter

Dear HCVMA Members, 

Just like that, we have made it to the last month of 2025. As we close out 2025, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for the opportunity to serve as your President this year. It has been a great privilege and honor to lead such an inspiring group of colleagues who care deeply not only for their patients and team, but for their profession.

As we look ahead to 2026, I encourage everyone to renew your HCVMA membership. Your membership not only supports our mission but also allows us to continue offering high-quality CE, community outreach, and a space where colleagues can connect, learn, and grow together. As a reminder, life members will still need to renew online, and those needing the Life Member code can reach out to our Treasurer.

I am also excited to share that HCVMA now has its own Instagram platform! This is another great way to stay connected, see updates on upcoming CE events, and enjoy photos from past meetings. You can find us by visiting our website or searching Instagram directly- be sure to follow and share with your colleagues.

Our first CE meeting of 2026 will be held on January 8th at Maggiano’s. We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Rossi, MNS, Diplomate ACVD, who will be presenting “Shift Focus in Veterinary Dermatology.” Save the date and I look forward to seeing you all there.

Wishing you and your families a wonderful holiday season and a bright start to the year ahead.

Warmly,

Caitlyn Freeny, DVM

2025 President, Harris County Veterinary Medical Association
