Dr. Conley Byrd was appointed to the Arkansas Veterinary Medical Examining Board. Congratulations Dr. Byrd. With his appointment, he had to resign from the ArVMA Board and Peer Assistance Program. Dr. Mike Beard and Dr. John Huff will be taking over the Peer Assistance Program.

Again, thank you all for your patience with me as I have been dealing with my health issues. I pray I am on the uphill swing now. It has been a tough year. I appreciate everyone that has reached out to me, sent messages, cards, and flowers. You will never know how much it means to me. It makes this battle a lot easier to know I have such wonderful people in my corner fighting with me.
As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please call or e-mail me.
Fondly,
Maggie Milligan
