Only some of these events are produced by the UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program. Most are being created and sponsored by other groups and agencies.  Being listed here does not mean that we have reviewed the material contained.  We are trying to provide a variety of resources to hopefully help make your life a little easier.  For additional information on any of these items before or after the event please contact the organizer directly (listed in the item description).

Online Event – Fridays – Maddie’s Instructor Summit – AmPa!

AmPa! Presents: The AmPA! weekly Maddie's Instructor Summit offers shelters and rescues a chance to talk through the most current animal sheltering challenges! Topics will change each week. You'll join Dr. Ellen Jefferson and the instructors from Maddie's Lifesaving Academy, as well as other industry leaders, but, more importantly, you'll be able to engage face to face (digitally!) with people like you. Because not feeling alone makes this work a lot easier.

Webinar – 9/23/20 – The Practices of Purposeful Leadership – The AAWA

Virtual

The AAWA Presents: The experience of meaningfulness is a critical ingredient to thriving at work.  While animal welfare work is naturally imbued with a sense of meaning, especially in times of crisis, we often lose sight of it or fail to enable it.  Research finds those who work for purposeful leaders – leaders who routinely enable the experience of meaningfulness throughout their teams – are more fulfilled, resilient, higher performing, and significantly less likely to burn out, even in the most challenging times.
