Calling all California strategic thinkers, status quo disruptors, and changemakers! Through July 14 the California for All Animals program is seeking qualified applicants for an advisory council. The council will assist, advise, and make recommendations on the strategic plan, grantmaking and implementation of the California for All Animals program. Members of the Advisory Council will provide input and feedback on the program implementation plans, grant guidelines and funding priorities for California for All Animals. Members will review grant application packages, provide input and vote on grant award decisions.
Could this be you? Yes! If you work or volunteer at a shelter or animal control agency, or if you work for a community-based organization or social services, or know someone who does, we are looking for you. Likewise, if you’re located in northern California, Imperial County, Riverside, the Central Valley or eastern California, please help spread the word. We are looking for broader representation in those communities.
The challenges before the animal welfare field today are multifaceted and systemic. While we wholeheartedly acknowledge we have much to learn and unlearn, there’s one thing we know for sure: The way to a more humane-hearted California is more voices, more perspectives, more lived experiences, more diversity, more expertise, more cultural humility, more transparency and more seats at the table.
