RETIRED: Not Done Yet

Connection Circle: September 17 | 3:00pm CST/ 4:00 PM EST

If you’re retired—but not quite ready to step away from veterinary medicine—this conversation is for you.

We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Douglas Mader as our guest to help guide this discussion. Dr. Mader has made the most of his remarkable veterinary career. A triple board-certified specialist [DABVP (C/F, R/A), DECZM (Herpetology)], he has practiced for nearly four decades and is internationally recognized as a leader in exotic animal medicine. In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Mader is an accomplished lecturer, author of three medical textbooks, numerous book chapters, and dozens of peer-reviewed scientific papers. He has also shared his voice with the public through more than 1,500 newspaper and magazine columns.

This Connection Circle will explore what comes next when you’re ready for your next chapter. Whether you’re looking to stay involved, explore new opportunities, or simply share your journey, this is a space to connect, exchange ideas, and spark inspiration.

As always, Connection Circles are interactive—so bring your questions, your insights, and your favorite beverage. Let’s come together for a thoughtful and energizing conversation.
