A little cost relief for 2026

After a thorough deep dive into MVMA's pricing strategy and true costs of programs and services, it became clear that we had a small bit of room to alleviate some cost for members.

The roll back

For 2026 nearly all costs will be rolled back by $5. While that is not a lot of money, it rights our pricing strategy to align more appropriately with our costs while still allowing us to pursue our strategic initiatives. This means member dues, beginning for those whose membership expires March 2026 and after, and most CE events will be $5 less than they were in 2025.

Other savings

The series discount for both Lunch & Learn and the Small Animal Seminar Series continue to be offered. 

Organizational membership saves the most

A new way to save is the newly restructured organizational membership. The membership is now priced to using the number of veterinarians on staff, not including independent contractors. The membership not only covers all employees of the practice, it offers deeper discounts on CE events. 

In addition to these ways to save, we continue to diversify revenue sources to help fund all of MVMA's initiatives. 

Thank you for your ongoing trust and support in MVMA. Here's to a joyous holiday season and a prosperous new year!
