Don’t Stop #prodev: 5 Ways to Invest In Yourself Right Now

While there is much uncertainty in our daily lives, one thing we must remain certain about–ourselves. The Association’s President & CEO, Jim Tedford, CAWA, wholly endorses this idea. “I have often said that the day I stop learning is the day I need to hang it up for good,” says Tedford. “The Association is proud to be your partner in professional development. During this uncertain time, don’t forget to continue investing in yourself and your own learning. It will pay off for you, your organization and, most importantly, the animals and people you serve. If you have a little extra time your hands while you’re staying safely at home, why not use it for some career advancement?”
