This episode focuses on the value of community involvement. Traditional marketing models just don't cut it anymore. Customers want to engage with businesses that share their values and actively contribute to their communities. From supporting local sports teams to getting involved in people-helping-people initiatives, the benefits of community engagement for veterinary practices are vast and tangible.

Podcast guest Suzanna Berry, a practice manager from Central Florida and VHMA’s 2023 Practice Manager of the Year, shares firsthand experiences of how participating in programs like Skill Bridge, which matches departing active-duty military personnel with training, internship, and career-change opportunities, has not only benefited her community and the program participants, but has ignited a new passion in existing team members.

This audio podcast series features insightful commentary and discussions facilitated by practice managers who have tackled real-life management issues…the ones keeping them up at night! The issues are topical, relevant, and universally shared by other managers. Tune into these engaging and educational presentations and find guidance, inspiration, and support.

Produced monthly by VHMA, hosted by Debbie Hill, CVPM, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, these podcasts will expose listeners to new ideas and practical strategies and solutions that managers---relying on their expertise, experience, and creativity--have adopted to move the practice forward.
