Dear AAIV Members,
As we welcome the fall season, I find myself writing my final message as President of AAIV. It’s been an absolute honor to serve in this role and to be part of such a dedicated community of veterinarians in industry. I’m incredibly grateful for the trust you placed in me and for the chance to work alongside so many talented, passionate professionals.
I’d like to give a warm welcome to Dr. Ann Korbel, who will be stepping into the role of President. I know Ann will bring energy, vision, and continued dedication to leading AAIV into the future. We’re also thrilled to welcome our incoming board members, whose commitment will be instrumental in AAIV’s ongoing mission.
To our outgoing board and each of you who contributed to AAIV this year, thank you. Your support, enthusiasm, and contributions have made a real impact and have strengthened our community. I’m proud of all we’ve accomplished together—from our mentorship programs and events to the incredible network we continue to build.
As I transition out of this role, I’m looking forward to seeing how AAIV will continue to grow under Ann’s leadership. Thank you all for the privilege of serving, and here’s to the future!
With gratitude,
Bianca Zenor, D.V.M. M.S.
President, American Association of Industry Veterinarians (AAIV)
