KVMA Power of 10


KVMA MEMBER GRADUATE F 200201 Are you interested in KVMA’s Power of Ten Leadership Program?


The Power of Ten Leadership (POTL) Program is de- signed to cultivate leadership capacity in recent graduates


and provide learning experiences that will enrich the indi- vidual and benefit the individual’s practice, community, and profession. It’s a way to help recent graduates answer questions like:


• “I finished veterinary school and I’m in practice – but how can I get a better grasp on what makes me tick?” • “Now that I have a technical staff, how can I form, manage and lead an effective team?” • “Who am I in the bigger picture, and what can I give to my family, my community, and my profession that will be my legacy?”


Te Power of Ten Leadership Program will provide ten vet- erinary graduates with leadership development sessions over a 12-month period. KVMA will provide topic ex- perts and meeting expenses at no charge for participants to attend sessions that not only convey the key learning points about leadership, but also deepen the understand- ing of participants on a number of related topics. Train- ing will incorporate four face-to-face sessions, including:


• Kickoff events at KVMA Annual Meeting/ Mid-America Veterinary Conference - Learn about yourself using Insights, participate in a Wellness/Life Balance Workshop, develop friendships at Angel’s Envy Distillery event, and meet new mentors at the KVMA Past Presidents’ Luncheon.


• Equine Guided Leadership Training - Utilizing the horse to develop leadership skills; learn to effectively lead and manage others based on clear boundaries, integrity and intentionality.


• Attend one KVMA Executive Board - Attend one KVMA Executive Board meeting in 2019; choose a meeting that will best fit your work schedule.


• Advocacy/Legislative Training - Attend the KVMA Legislative Day to learn how KVMA is protecting the veterinary profession.


• Communication and/or Compassion Fatigue Training - Learn about your communication style and how it impacts others as well as strategies to cope with the challenges of practice.


We anticipate that sessions will also create a sense of com- munity and participants will likely build lasting bonds with members of their POTL class.


Te first session will be held on Saturday, September 29, 2018, at KVMA Annual Meeting/Mid-America Veteri-

Here is what a fellow KVMA member and Power of Ten participant has to say:


“Te KVMA Power of Ten was an awesome experience I rec- ommend to any recent graduate! Te program allowed our class to develop personal leadership and team building skill sets. I enjoyed meeting the hardworking and passionate team that guides Kentucky veterinary issues and learning more about the role of the KVMA in influencing animal-related government policy. Above all, I loved the opportunity to make some new friends from across the state. Te other participants (and facilitators) are inspiring with their diverse interests and abilities and I am grateful to now call them friends. Emily M. Tincher, DVM KVMA Power of Ten Class of 2016-17


“As someone who recently transitioned to the wildlife health field, I was hoping [the Power of Ten Program] would help me re-integrate into the veterinary profession and network with veterinary professionals across Kentucky. Te program exceeded my expectations and offered ample opportunity for networking and exploring various facets of my own profes- sional development, as well building personal relationships with veterinary colleagues across the spectrum of veterinary medicine. Te program helped me grow in my leadership ca- pacity and provided me the resources I needed to allow myself to bridge the gap between the veterinary profession and the wildlife health field, and realize my current potential.” Iga Stasiack, DVM KVMA Power of Ten Class of 2016-2017
