📍 Meet-Ups: Where in the Vet World Will You Be?
One of the best parts of the Collective is that we’re not just here to learn — we’re here to connect. And sometimes… those connections happen beyond the keyboard. This thread is for all things Meet-Up: ✅ Conferences you’re attending ✅ Local or regional events ✅ Speaking gigs ✅ Virtual hangouts you’d love to see inside the community ✅ “Hey, I’ll be in [city] — want to grab a coffee?” posts If you’re headed somewhere this season, drop it in the comments! And if you’d like to host a virtual meet-up here in the virtual community, comment or DM me — I’m happy to help schedule and post it on our community calendar. Let’s make this profession feel a little smaller and a whole lot more connected.

I’ll go first I’m Aaron, founder of the Vetspan Collective™. I’m married to a veterinarian, and together we share life with Eddie, our Portuguese Water Dog 🐾. I’m here because I want to make it easier for veterinary professionals to stay healthy, strong, and energized in such a demanding career. Your turn — tell us who you are, what you do in vet med, and maybe something fun outside of work!

@Elizabeth Winingham thanks for sharing. Does it seem like proper staffing happens on occasion or is this a chronic "never fully staffed" issue?

@Elizabeth Winingham that's a challenging situation. Your team must need their "A-game" every day to survive a staffing crunch like that. In rural areas the challenges are amplified because the pool of resources (people) is limited. Investing the health and durability of the team you have must be a top priority for you.

@Elizabeth Winingham have you checked out the snack guide in the Classroom? There are some ideas in there to keep your team fueled up too -- although the slushie machine didn't make the list I support it 100% for Vet Tech Week!
