I would like to nominate Kaitlin Frakes for CVT of the year. Kaitlin has made great contributions to our association. She has participated in several outreach programs promoting the profession of veterinary technology this year. She is passionate about what we do and has done a wonderful job advocating and serving us as our AVTA president.

Adding to the nomination for Kaitlin.
I have worked with Kaitlin for several years now and as a technician she has grown tremendously in skills and confidence.
She is a great team player and is always willing to help out where needed. She is very passionate about her job and very caring when it comes to her patients. She is also a very good teacher and enjoys going to schools on her own time and speaking to the students about what veterinary technicians do and letting them know that this career choice does exist. She is a very organized leader when it comes to the AVTA and always looking to improve the organization and figuring out new ways to help it grow and make people want to be a part of it. I have enjoyed working beside not only as a co-worker but as a friend for the past several years and look forward to many more as we both have learned things from one another.
