SPONSORS The AAVMC wishes to express its gratitude to the following corporations for their support of academic veterinary medicine. WELCOME

Teamwork. It’s the magic that happens when talented people from diverse backgrounds work together to accomplish mutual goals. “The Science of Building Inclusive Teams” is what makes the magic happen.

That’s the theme of this year’s AAVMC Annual Conference, where we gather every year to share ideas, solve problems and get inspired.

This year, the conference also features our biennial Iverson Bell Symposium. Honoring the vision and work of the late Iverson Bell, the symposium explores and promotes diversity and inclusion in academic veterinary medicine.

We’ll hear from keynote speaker Scott Page, a leading social scientist whose work in group dynamics is demonstrating the intrinsic value of D&I environments. Inside Higher Ed editor Scott Jaschik will share his thoughts and perspectives on the world of higher education. And the NIH’s Dr. Kara L. Hall will discuss her pioneering work in the science of team-building.

We’ll also hear from prominent award-winners in academic veterinary medicine, as well as a diverse group of national and international veterinary medical educators, each with their unique take on the issues and trends that define the world of academic veterinary medicine today.

We invite you to step back, refresh, recharge and enjoy the meeting. If there is anything we can do to improve or enhance your experience, please let us know.

2019 ANNUAL MEETING & IVERSON BELL SYMPOSIUM 1 IVERSON BELL

IVERSON BELL: A PIONEER IN VETERINARY MEDICINE

Every two years the AAVMC celebrates the late Dr. Iverson Bell as the quintessential champion of diversity and inclusiveness in veterinary medicine. The AAVMC’s biennial Iverson Bell Symposium honors his legacy. But who exactly was he, and what did he do to earn such respect and appreciation?

Born in Texas in 1916, Dr. Bell overcame the era’s segregation and pervasive racial discrimination to forge a thriving private veterinary medical practice while demonstrating ground-breaking leadership in veterinary medicine, education, civic affairs and civil liberties. Among Dr. Bell’s many achievements, he rose to become the first African-American vice president of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).

After service in the U.S. Army during World War II, Bell earned his DVM degree from Michigan State University and taught small animal medicine as part of the founding faculty at the Tuskegee University School of Veterinary Medicine in Tuskegee, Alabama. Dr. Bell and his family eventually settled in Indiana, where he established the Bell Animal Hospital and practiced veterinary medicine for 35 years.

His leadership in the veterinary medical profession included holding several positions within the Indiana Veterinary Medical Association and service with distinction as the AVMA’s vice president from 1971-73. Throughout his career, Dr. Bell demonstrated a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion in public education. He served on his local school board for 20 years and, together with another member, co-founded the Foundation for Public Education. He also helped establish the Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine and served as a mentor and leader for many students.

Dr. Bell served on numerous civic boards: his local library board, the board of directors of the Wabash Valley Council of Boy Scouts and as chairman of the executive board of the Terra Haute (Indiana) chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the most influential U.S. civil rights organization of that era.
