Change is in the air!
The Denver Area Veterinary Medical Society is pleased to have a new and improved web-based platform that will allow members to utilize social networking tools, blogs, forums, and small group homepages -- while continuing to allow members to manage individual contact information on their own.
You may not readily notice significant changes, and that's a good thing. Our changes are primarily behind the scenes where we are working to make the transition seamless and ease of navigation apparent. The most evident change you will notice is a new process for logging in.
If you are a DAVMS member, upon your first login, you will need to use the following login information:
USERNAME firstnamelastname example: johnsmith PASSWORD davms1234
With the new DAVMS website, members must have an email address to register online for events, update their profile, or renew their membership. Having a valid email address in your profile will also allow you to communicate with your colleagues via blogs, forums, and email messages.
Click here to login and update your profile.
If you experience difficulties while navigating the site or trying to register online, the DAVMS staff is on hand to help with the process. Contact us with questions at 303.318.0447.
