Event Navigation

As part of our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Commitment To Action, The Association will continue offering resources and learning opportunities designed to further the eradication of systemic discrimination and racism in animal welfare.

It’s no secret that our nation is deeply divided along political and social lines, especially right now. These divisions make it increasingly difficult for animal welfare organizations to develop messages that appeal to people on both sides of the divide.

Join us for a free webinar that will equip your organization with the tools your staff, volunteers, and board need to listen thoughtfully and communicate effectively with supporters who span the political and social spectrum. Participants will learn how to:

Identify and speak to the shared values of internal and external audiences, including potential supporters, regardless of their political or social ideology
Assess your existing communications to find language and imagery that turns off those on either side of the ideological divide
Eliminate jargon and develop direct, accessible communications that connect with shared values
Reach key audiences who are either unaware of or turned off by your existing messaging

This webinar has been pre-approved for 1 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credit.

This webinar:

Will be recorded and available on-demand 24/7
Is approved for 1 CAWA CE and for 1 CE by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) for Texas Animal Control Officers
Is free for Association members and non-members—bring your staff! (Non-members will need to create a free “Learning Non-Member” account in order to register; only registrants can receive a certificate of completion)
