THE BOTTOM LINE IS COLOR BLIND Pam Hale, DVM, MBA 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM | Room 106 The case for diversity related to business outcomes. The presentation outlines the need for diversity in the veterinary business world and how this can be good for business. Our clientele is increasingly diverse. Our staff and team members are diverse. Pet ownership has no color, sex, or sexual orientation boundaries. Preconceived notions of minority pet ownership perpetuate damaging stereotypes. Culturally competent pet care is just as important as culturally competent (human) health care. VETERINARY MEDICINE REQUIRES VETERINARY LEADERSHIP Pam Hale, DVM, MBA 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM | Room 106 The key takeaway is that veterinarians are best recruited, led, and coached by other veterinarians. Veterinarians understand their clients’ needs. Veterinarians and veterinary paraprofessionals respond to those who have walked the walk, held the paw, and comforted the pet parent. The

veterinary corporation that demonstrates its emotional intelligence and business acumen by placing veterinarians at the helm of the veterinary business will break the impasse of veterinary burnout and attrition.
