It's the people with heart that make up the backbone of the companion animal industry. The ones who go that extra mile to ensure the community is a safe and healthy place for pets and people.
The Summit award for Individual Achievement honours exceptional individual effort of someone who is currently working or volunteering in the companion animal industry. These individuals demonstrate unwavering efforts to the improvement of industry collaboration and promoting responsible pet families.
Dr. Michelle Lem is the creator and director of Veterinary Community Outreach (VCO) in Ontario, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing preventative health care for the pets of homeless, street-involved and socially marginalized people in communities. Lem was awarded the Individual Achievement award, sponsored by IAMS Canada, at the 2011 ISUAS.
