This past summer, The Association’s Katherine Shenar, Dallas Animal Services’ Ed Jamison, and Steve Zeidman of Pethealth, Inc, started an important conversation about systemic racism in animal care and control right here on this blog. “If Your Adoption Policies Put Up Barriers, You’re Part of the Problem” focused on biases against underserved and marginalized communities that had been baked into the industry’s culture.
We know it’s a busy time, but this one’s easy. Getting a head start on next year’s pro dev is as fast and simple as registering for one (or more!) of our upcoming webinars.
