Excellence.  A term I have often looked upon in recent times as being a goal that doesn’t seem to hold the same value as in days past.  I get frustrated when dealing with customer service reps who don’t seem to understand their own products. I get disillusioned when I experience professionals taking questionable shortcuts. I get disappointed when I see the all-mighty dollar taking front seat to things that are in the best interest of people. I get disheartened by students who continually fail to put forth effort to make even adequate progress.  But inevitably, something comes along that restores my faith in people’s innate ability to strive toward excellence.  This past month, my wake-up call was my attendance at this year’s Awards in Excellence recitals.  The event is aptly named because the students’ performances were indeed excellent!  I was truly in awe of not only the performances themselves, but the dedication and countless hours that students must have spent in preparation for the event!  I’m so happy that DVMTA has the opportunity to participate in and award this level of excellence.  The students are definitely deserving!

In addition, as I am pondering what 
excellence means, I am reminded of all of the people who have shared their time and talents with the organization this year!  I have had the pleasure to work with some amazingly excellent people who have spent countless hours bringing you wonderful events for your students to participate in this year.  Nearly 100% of our members have done something to help our organization thrive this year.  I doubt that many organizations can boast that!  I am so proud to be a member of this organization!  In my book, anyway, DVMTA is……EXCELLENT!!!!
