Belonging: How Journey for Teams Shapes the Future of Engagement (Virtual)
Tuesday, October 28 | 6 PM ET | Register
In this fireside chat, Dr. Latonia Craig, Chief of Veterinary Engagement and Belonging at AVMA, invites participants into an open conversation about what it truly means to belong in the veterinary profession and why engagement is at the core of thriving teams. Through the lens of Journey for Teams, this discussion explores how intentional learning, shared values, and everyday behaviors can create environments where people feel seen, supported, and connected.
Dr. Craig will share real examples from the field, insights from the national rollout of the Journey for Teams training program, and reflections on how belonging is not a destination, but a continuous process of engagement, empathy, and growth.
