Online Event - 6/3/21 - Maddie's Candid Conversation Series - Gabrielle Chapman & Justin Marceau - Maddie's Fund
2021-06-03 12:00 - 12:45 (America/Los_Angeles) | Virtual
Join us for a special edition of Maddie’s Candid Conversation where we will be talking with Justin Marceau, author of Beyond Cages: Animal Law and Criminal Punishment. The discussion will center around the role of fines and fees, civil penalties, conviction and punishment in achieving positive outcomes for animals – and how current enforcement models can in fact produce negative consequences for companion animals which can hinder the goal of lifesaving. Gabrielle Chapman, a social justice analyst, will facilitate the conversation, moderate your questions about how systemic racism plays a role, and share ways we can more effectively support companion animals and their families.
About the speakers:
Gabrielle Chapman is a Social Justice Analyst at The Woodrow Consulting Firm. She formerly worked as a Senior Social Justice Analyst with The Humane Society of the United States’ Pets for Life program where she lent her expertise about how systemic racism is perpetuated within animal welfare. She helps bring forth an increased consciousness about systemic racism and other forms of oppression which can hinder growth and well-being for communities and their companion animals. Her consulting work is informed by her knowledge across racial justice, food/land justice, and animal rights/welfare, using a One Health model that strives to develop solutions and build relationships from a socio-ecological perspective.
Justin F. Marceau is a Professor of Law and the Animal Legal Defense Fund Professor at the University of Denver. He is also the Brooks Institute Faculty Research Scholar of Animal Law and Policy, and an affiliated faculty member with the Institute for Human Animal Connections at the Graduate School of Social Work.

Online Event - 6/17/21 - Mini Event: The Future of Sheltering - Humane Canada (fee applies)
2021-06-17 07:00 - 14:15 | Virtual
Humane societies, SPCAs, animal shelters and rescues are society’s safety nets for animals, but we can’t discredit the role that human-animal bond plays in supporting people and the role the community plays in supporting these organizations. The COVID-19 pandemic was a perfect example of this. To prevent the spread of the virus, most shelters and animal care workers limited services and changed their operations to maintain physical distancing. Anticipating a shortage of staff and limited operations, shelters called on their communities for support, and those communities stepped up to help on an unprecedented level. As a result of this, animal welfare organizations across the globe were given the opportunity to review the importance of maintaining the human-animal bond and in keeping families and pets together.
Join us on June 17 to learn from experts from across the continent on the important connection between animals, community members and animal sheltering organizations.

Online Event - 7/22/21 - The Roundtable: How Loud Can You Bark? Hellraising vs Fundraising - The AAWA
2021-07-22 13:00 - 14:00 | Virtual
Big brands get to have the biggest voices and attention, while organizations doing the most good are often overlooked. Nonprofit social impact orgs such as animal shelters can’t compete with the $$$$ budgets big brands dedicated to media buying, production, talent, product, creative, etc. So how can animal welfare fundraisers and marketers raise hell together, to shake it up and find new and innovative ways to increase donor support and drive sustainable revenue?
Hear from animal welfare leaders whose organizations have significantly increased engagement with their donors. Panelists will share their personal stories, lessons learned, and how partnership drove sustainable success, including how a shelter recently embarked on a 5-year plan to significantly increase its level of donor support.
Both marketers and fundraisers will gain insights and inspiration to create effective strategies. Questions from the audience will follow the roundtable discussion.
The Association’s Roundtable series features leaders discussing emerging and critical issues in animal welfare.

Moderated by Jim Tedford, President and CEO, The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement
The Roundtable Guests:

Denise Wong, CEO, One & All
Stephanie Ladeira, Chief of Philanthropy & Community Development, Humane Society Silicon Valley
Angela Speed, Vice President of Communications, Wisconsin Humane Society

2021-07-24 11:00 - 12:15 | Virtual
Broward County Library and Hannah Shaw are collaborating to present this engaging kitten rescue program. Hannah Shaw is known as Kitten Lady and is the author of Tiny but Mighty: Kitten Lady’s Guide to Saving the Most Vulnerable Felines. Most people believe that tiny adorable kittens are easily adoptable from animal shelters, but the truth is that many shelters are understaffed and do not have the time or resources to care for newborn kittens. In addition, even though many people would like to help these babies, most of us do not know the best way to do so. Meet Kitten Lady and listen as she explains what you should do if you find an abandoned kitten and shares the joys of being a foster parent to an orphaned kitten or a cuddly kitty family. It is easier than you might think, and giving these tiny, furry beings a real chance at a good life can be very rewarding.
This is a virtual program you can attend from your computer. Event begins at 2pm Eastern Time!
