Welcome! As part of our efforts to help NJVMA members stay informed and connected with our organization and each other, we have launched the following social media efforts:
Through these channels, we will provide veterinary professionals, students, and pet owners with the latest animal health resources. This includes recall alerts, veterinary news, events for vets and pet owners, highlights from the NJVMA Animal Hall of Fame, legislative updates, practice management tips, and much more.
LinkedIn Group
The NJVMA is now on LinkedIn! The official NJVMA Networking Group has been set up to offer a closed forum that is accessible only to NJVMA members. The group is meant to encourage member interaction and is for professional use only.
If you do not have a LinkedIn account, we encourage you to consider signing up for one. LinkedIn is the world’s leading professional network with over 80 million members and growing rapidly. LinkedIn connects you to your trusted contacts and helps you exchange knowledge, ideas, and opportunities with a broader network of professionals. Not only will you have access to the discussions our members-only group, you will also be able to seek jobs and new business opportunities.

Discussion Guidelines
Our goal is to encourage healthy, positive discussion about the veterinary industry and animal health issues. Please follow the guidelines below when posting a discussion or comment. These have been developed to help facilitate social networking and to engage all members in relevant dialog.
- Keep it clean: No profanity allowed.
- Keep it civil: No personal or corporate attacks.
- Keep it legal: No antitrust information permitted. (i.e. no discussions of pricing or costs)
- Keep it relevant: All posts should be about or related to the veterinary industry.
- Avoid hard-sell pitches*. (NO SPAM)
* In the spirit of maintaining a productive exchange within the context of this social media outlet, we don’t want this to be a space for one-way communication of advertising and promotional messages. If that happens, NJVMA members will likely disengage from the discussion and these forums will be ineffective. With that in mind, if someone posts a discussion and asks for guidance or information on an issue, it is completely appropriate for a manufacturer, supplier, consultant, or anyone else to share their experiences related to the topic and explain their area of expertise.
We know and appreciate that your participation in these forums is completely voluntary and we want to maintain them in a way that is beneficial for all participants. These guidelines have been developed to do just that and to help ensure the exchange and networking remains active and productive. If members post discussions or comments that violate these guidelines, their comment may be deleted and they will receive a message from the group administrator to remind them about the guidelines. If they continue to post discussions or comments that violate the guidelines they will be removed from the group.
