The Kentucky Veterinary Technician Association (KVTA) is proud to recognize Jacqueline Jackson as the 2025 Veterinary Technician of the Year. Jacqueline has been an educator in veterinary technology at Owensboro Community and Technical College since 2014. She holds degrees from Murray State University and Morehead State University and became a credentialed veterinary technician in 2009. Outside of work, she enjoys farm life with her family and brings real-world experience to inspire future veterinary technicians.
KVTA held its annual business meeting on September 27 during the Kentucky Veterinary Medical Association Mid-America Conference in Lexington. The association announced plans to increase membership through a redesigned website and introduced a new catchphrase reflecting its mission:
- Empower. Promoting strength and confidence both professionally and individually.
- Educate. Supporting lifelong learning through continuing education at the KVTA Spring Fling and KVMA Conference.
- Advocate. Ensuring veterinary technicians’ voices are heard at the state and national levels.
KVTA will continue its tradition of hosting the annual KVTA Spring Fling in April and looks forward to another year of growth, education, and advocacy for the profession.
