Chapter membership is determined by the county you practice in. Check the guide here to see which Chapter you are part of.

CVMA chapters are geographical groupings of members throughout the state of Colorado. Chapters often host local gatherings, provide CE, and offer other services to its members. Membership in your local CVMA chapter is required. Some CVMA chapters host more events and provide more CE to their members than other chapters – to support the costs of these services, these chapters will often charge dues for their members. Each CVMA chapter is led by a team of volunteer CVMA members and sets its own membership dues.

For information on your chapter dues, please check out our Chapter Guide.
