We were able to capture so many inspiring stories at our 2024 Student Ambassador Academy, including this one from Amanda Bier 🧡 Amanda’s path to Banfield started 8 years ago as an Veterinary Assistant. Now, as one of our awesome student ambassadors while in veterinary school, she is a perfect example of how everyone has a different journey. Mentorship, teamwork, and support enable Associates like her to chase their dreams. Her enthusiasm and advocacy for general practice preventive care is inspirational and her standout advocacy for unique careers pathways is amazing.

Today, we're honoring #WomensEqualityDay and celebrating the certification of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote in 1920. Hear from Megan Croce, who leads Banfield’s legal & risk teams, on how we encourage the advancement and development of women leaders, while recognizing that there is still work to be done for women with intersecting identities and striving for equality and inclusion for all. 💜🧡 Katie Powell, Women of Banfield leader and Division VP of Field Operations, also shared what this day means to her: "As a woman leader at Banfield, gender equality is crucial to me because it ensures that diverse perspectives are heard, valued, and integrated into our decision-making processes. This drives innovation and better outcomes. With 80% of our workforce being female, it’s vital that we ensure our voices are heard, our contributions recognized, and our growth supported. I see this come to life every day at Banfield by seeing all associates, but especially other women, fostering an inclusive environment and encouraging each other to lead, innovate, and thrive at every level in the organization." Thanks to our Women of Banfield Diversity Resource Group and EI&D team for creating opportunities for our Associates to connect, celebrate, and lift up women in the practice. #BanfieldPetHospital #BanfieldLife #BanfieldCareers #WomenofBanfield #ProudlyMars #VeterinaryMedicine Megan Croce
