Who We Are

We help develop leaders

The veterinary profession has undergone a great demographic shift over the past 25 years, but the change in leadership hasn’t kept pace. Women, now more than half of the profession and rising, need to be better represented in leadership roles if we’re to deliver on the promise of veterinary medicine to society. WVLDI is dedicated to helping develop those leaders—in organized veterinary medicine and from practice owners to academia to corporate boards—and to achieve a stronger, more effective and personally rewarding profession.
