Veterinary Medicine. This distinct club defines what a true ICON is!
2024 Winner

ICON Selection
Our selection process is a two-step process that's both fair and impartial.
The first review is made anonymously, with all names removed to ensure that each candidate's contributions stand out above all else. This step is conducted by previous ICONs who've been there and done that.
The final selection is made by a committee consisting of The Bridge Club, the program sponsors Blue Buffalo and NAVC. Our goal is to ensure the very best in veterinary medicine carry the title of ICON.
