Nevada Veterinary Medical Association

What Nevada Veterinary Medical Association does

Nevada Veterinary Medical Association (NVMA) is a nonprofit professional membership association and the only statewide organization dedicated to the veterinary profession in Nevada. Founded in 1919 as the Nevada State Veterinary Association and renamed in 1989, NVMA represents veterinarians (DVMs), Licensed Veterinary Technicians (LVTs), veterinary students, and allied industry companies practicing or operating in Nevada. Its mission centers on legislative advocacy, continuing education, professional development, and protecting the veterinary profession from undue regulatory burden.

NVMA's service portfolio is delivered through a tiered membership program (active, new graduate, retired, LVT, student, allied industry) supplemented by an NVMA Career Center operated in partnership with the Veterinary Career Network and the American Veterinary Medical Association, a Continuing Education calendar, the NVMA Political Action Committee, a member-only classified ads and job-posting platform, a member benefits portal offering endorsed-provider discounts, volunteer committees (Legislative, Emergency Preparedness, Scholarship, Nomination, Impairment), and a disaster preparedness volunteer network. Operations run on YourMembership association management software, which handles dues, events, and website functionality.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through annual membership dues (active $180-$205 depending on PAC contribution, retired $75-$100, LVT $50, students/new graduates complimentary), separate allied industry memberships, modest PAC contributions, and ancillary income from career center and classified advertising services. The association is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors representing three Nevada districts and is led by Executive Director Heather Nichols from its mailing address in Reno, Nevada.
