Here at the Animal Health Corridor, we are proud to announce that our very own Emily McVey has won the 2023 Economic Development 40 Under 40 Award.

Wayside Waifs welcomes Alma Azuara, Nick Davis, Melanie Hepperly and Lisa Rolf as Board Members in 2023.

The Animal Health Corridor is pleased to announce its VETTY Best in Show Award for a video featuring the former Spirit of Service Award Winner New Horizon Ranch.

With each passing year in the animal health industry, our community grows, learns and adapts. The things we can do as a group of informed and impassioned individuals only continues to transform our landscape and inspire our industry.

It’s no secret that hiring is difficult right now, including within the Animal Health industry. In fact, it’s been that way for a few years now, and it almost appears as though it’s becoming more difficult with each passing year.

Finding and hiring the best candidates in the job market right now is not easy. After all, the National Unemployment Rate is still hovering near a historic low. We’re in a candidates’ job market and we’ve been in one for quite some time. As a result, candidates—especially the top candidates—have more options and more opportunities at their disposal.

When it comes to experiencing hiring success, identifying the top job candidates in the employment marketplace is the easy part. It might be difficult to believe that, especially since qualified candidates are so scarce at the moment.

What about the mission of The Corridor excites you most? I’m excited by the opportunity to contribute to the continuing expansion of the Corridor; attracting more people, developing local talent and expanding innovation in the region.

As we approach the end of 2022, I reflect upon the past 12 months and just how much the Animal Health Corridor and our industry have to be proud of.

This month we asked participants to share their key learnings from 2022. Check out their answers!
