President’s Message
IVMA President
Dr. Aaron Smiley
This year has not been typical but the IVMA was prepared. In 2016 the IVMA Board of Directors committed to restructuring the IVMA governance
structure. The process took multiple years and required the unselfishness of Board members voting themselves out of office.
President Abraham Lincoln wrote, “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.”
The IVMA Board members passed the test.
