Engage with Agriculture Series

WVMA Members Needed to Join the Engage with Ag Education Series

As a part of our state advocacy program, the WVMA participates as a member of the Wisconsin Agriculture Coalition, known as the Ag Coalition, which is a coalition of farm, agricultural, agri-business, and livestock groups that works collectively on state legislative issues.

This summer, as we prepare for the 2024 statewide elections, the Ag Coalition is hosting a series of educational events across Wisconsin that are open for all policymakers and candidates for state office to learn about Wisconsin agriculture, agri-business, food processing, and animal health. It is important for our state legislators to understand the important role that veterinary medicine plays in Wisconsin agriculture. Therefore, we need you! We need veterinarians to attend these tours and meet and greet the people who enact our state laws.

 To get involved in a tour in your area and learn more about your duties while there, please contact the WVMA at wvma@wvma.org.
