BROOMFIELD, Colo. – The Colorado Department of Agriculture announced that Dr. Maggie Baldwin has been named state veterinarian. In the role, Baldwin will manage CDA’s Animal Health division through planning, directing and executing all programs, policies and cooperative agreements with other governmental agencies.
Implementation of secure food supply plans and emergency response plans, enhanced animal disease traceability, education, and robust stakeholder engagement are among Baldwin’s priorities for the position. She is also making history as the first-ever female state veterinarian in Colorado.
“Time and again, Maggie has proved her mettle in crisis management, animal disease complexities, and excellence in service to the veterinary profession,” said Commissioner of Agriculture Kate Greenberg. “Coloradoans will benefit from the skill and dedication that Maggie brings to the people and animals of our state.”
