Humboldt  Veterinary                  Technician  Association

The HVTA was founded in November 2014 by Christian Pitts, RVT, and Jessica Boling, RVT. 

Once co-workers, the two had tossed around the idea of forming an organization that would help bring more CE to the Humboldt area, as well as help create a network of local veterinary staff and animal care employees to get to know one another and resource each other.

​

In March of 2017, The Humboldt Veterinary Technician Association acquired its 501(c)3 status and became a non-profit!

To date, there are approximately 12 veterinary hospitals in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties, a local zoo, a county animal shelter, a humane society, and several local animal rescue and welfare groups. HVTA's goal was to create a neutral ground for all employees to be able to get together and pool their resources and knowledge.
