Celebrating Leadership in Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine

GVMA’s Dr. Keri Riddick Joins the 2025-2026 AGL Class

The GVMA is proud to announce that our Executive Director, Dr. Keri Riddick, has been accepted into the 2025-2026 Advancing Georgia’s Leaders in Agriculture and Forestry (AGL) program. This opportunity, developed by the University of Georgia’s College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Warnell School of Forestry, and College of Veterinary Medicine, is a powerful way to foster leadership across Georgia’s agriculture, forestry, and veterinary fields.

AGL is all about helping professionals like Dr. Riddick build strong leadership skills, engage confidently with complex issues, and become trusted advocates for our state’s industries. Through this program, leaders gain a comprehensive understanding of U.S. and international systems affecting agriculture, veterinary medicine, and natural resources, all while connecting with diverse professionals across Georgia and beyond.

Dr. Riddick’s involvement is not only a proud moment for GVMA but also an exciting opportunity for our veterinary community. Her leadership journey with AGL will strengthen her ability to advocate for issues that matter to veterinarians and animal health, both within our association and across allied fields.

We look forward to the insights she’ll bring back to GVMA and the benefits her participation will bring to our members. Stay tuned for updates on Dr. Riddick’s AGL journey and how it will further enhance veterinary medicine in Georgia!
