Commenting on this year’s President’s Award recipients, WSAVA President Dr Siraya Chunekamrai says: “Thanks to their passion and dedication over many years, both of this year’s awardees have left an indelible mark on the WSAVA.
“Dr Neumann was instrumental in creating WSAVA World Congress as we know it today – a first rate global congress with an amazing scientific program – but also an annual gathering of our community during which our members can learn and share experiences with their global colleagues. During her time with us, her kindness, common sense and wisdom helped us to overcome every challenge and we are forever grateful for her contribution.”
“During his tenure, Dr Takashima contributed significantly to the betterment of the veterinary profession globally, particularly in the area of nutrition. He also played a key role in the development of the WSAVA through his contribution to our other committees and, in particular, to our current strategic plan. He embodies the core values of the WSAVA and is a great ambassador for our work.”
