Each year, an individual is selected as Vice-Chair who has proven leadership in the practice area of animal law, and who has been consistently involved in the committee’s events and in TIPS.

Ms. Lutz has been a committee member since its inception in 2004. She previously served as Chair of ALC in 2015, and Vice-Chair in 2017.

“Bonnie’s unparalleled reputation as a practitioner and her selfless acts of volunteer work makes her a perfect addition to the committee once again,” said Kevin J. Gramling, Managing Shareholder of Klinedinst’s Santa Ana office. “She is a natural leader and we have confidence in her to lead the most prestigious animal law committee in the nation.”

Having defended over 200 veterinarians in actions before the California Veterinary Medical Board, Ms. Lutz is experienced in humane society regulation laws and the California Veterinary Medicine Practice Act.

Within the community, Ms. Lutz is active with numerous veterinary organizations, including the California Veterinary Medical Association and the Society of Animal Welfare Administrators.
