SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/4/22 - Building a Leadership Culture - The AAWA
DESCRIPTION:Some organizational gurus contend that culture is the primary job of the CEO and leadership team because all other pillars of a great organization rest upon a healthy culture. A neglected aspect of building an effective and dynamic culture is leadership\, especially at the middle supervisory level of the organization. It is a dangerous fallacy that leadership acumen is only necessary at the top. Building a leadership culture begins by recognizing and communicating the expectation of leadership at every level of the organization\, coupled with the training and support required to develop each person’s leadership skills. \nThis session will explore the leader’s responsibility for culture paired with the need for an ongoing effort to provide leadership training and support. Tracy will explain his approach to leadership development in creating a Leadership Academy at each organization he led. The Leadership Academy is a multi-session approach to building leadership capabilities and capacity based on Tracy’s leadership model for the social sector\, Leadership From The Heart. \nThis live and recorded webinar is approved for 1 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credit. \nThis webinar is part 1 in the 5-part A Great Place to Work series. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://learning.theaawa.org/products/50422-building-a-leadership-culture

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/10/22 - The Future Is Four: The Right Care - Maddie’s® Million Pet Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Offering the Right Care means animals are not left in dangerous circumstances to cause harm\, suffer\, or die because the shelter can’t admit them; nor are they are admitted to a crowded shelter when there are better options within the community. You’re doing this work because you want to serve animals and people in the shelter and in the community\, but in order to provide the best care\, you have to know—and make sure you’re operating within—your capacity for care. Within the shelter’s walls\, the Right Care encompasses staffing\, housing and programs to meet each animal’s basic needs. In this webinar\, Drs. Chumkee Aziz and Denae Wagner will share how to provide humane housing and match community need to community capacity and shelter services to ensure all animals receive the care that is right for them. \nThis webinar is part 3 of “The Future Is Four: The Right Care in the Right Place at the Right Time to the Right Outcome Right Place” series. Register once for these four sessions\, which will be recorded. \nThe webcast has been pre-approved for 1.0 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credits by The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement and by the National Animal Care & Control Association. \nPresenters\nDenae Wagner\, DVM\, MPVM\, Assistant Director and Chief Portalizer \nIn her work for the Koret Shelter Medicine Program\, Dr. Wagner has helped shelters from Florida to Vancouver. Her contributions have ranged from Capacity for Care (C4C) calculations and population health to full facility design consultations. After initially fashioning them by hand\, Dr. Wagner oversaw the design and manufacture of the Kat Portal for the Koret Shelter Medicine Program. Over 5\,000 of her hand-made and manufactured portals have been installed in animal shelters throughout North America and beyond\, earning Dr. Wagner the nickname\, The Portal Queen. The portals safely and cleanly couple pairs of existing cat cages\, transforming cramped housing into roomier double-compartment condos. Dr. Wagner’s current interests include evidence based shelter design and the effects of housing and the shelter environment on animal health and well-being. \nMehnaz (Chumkee) Aziz\, DVM\, Outreach Veterinarian \nChumkee obtained her DVM degree at Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine in 2012. She then completed an internship at the ASPCA’s Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital in NYC in 2013\, which included experience in anti-cruelty work and shelter medicine. Chumkee was a resident at the KSMP from 2013-2016.She headed the Northern Tier Shelter Initiative and served as Senior Director of Shelter Medicine Services at the ASPCA before returning to the KSMP in January\, 2022 as an outreach veterinarian. Her current interests include the role of community collaboration in mitigating pet homelessness\, proactive shelter population management\, and infectious disease prevention in shelters. \n\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://maddiesfund-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_9UHVkuKcQbumXhwr-Y9puw

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/19/22 - The Association of Genes and Behavior: Finding Relevance for Today - ACVB (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:The presentation will give some background on genetics\, including parts of a chromosome\, including transcription and translation\, inheritance\, and silencing (epigenetics). I will go into association studies (pros and cons) to provide the audience with some foundation information. I will then discuss the implications coat color (in dogs and cats) may have on temperament\, and present a series of studies of breed heritage (genetics) associated with various traits (i.e. shyness\, boldness\, trainability\, etc). I also intend to touch on some genetic markers associated with behavior problems\, and try to round out the discussion with some information on environmental factors that contribute to behavior. To conclude\, I will highlight how this information should be interpreted with caution but may help with setting up appropriate environments and expectations of owners\, selection of pet vs working dogs\, and preventing/treating anticipated behavior problems. \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Lena Provoost currently works at Penn Vet in Philadelphia\, PA as a clinician and lecturer in Small Animal Behavior & Welfare. She enjoys educating students\, her clients\, and treating companion animals afflicted with anxieties\, fears\, and frustrations. Her major interests include all aspects of cognition\, effects and management of pain on behavior\, behavioral genetics\, and the human animal bond. Dr. Provoost admits that most of her spare time is spent running after her two young sons\, but enjoys every minute of it. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.dacvb.org/page/webinarseries

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/24/22 - The Future Is Four: The Right Outcome - Maddie’s® Million Pet Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Our goal for every animal in need is to get them as quickly as possible to the Right Outcome\, whether that involves a trip to the shelter or assistance in the community. The Right Outcome is the one that best supports the well-being of animals\, honors the connections between humans and pets\, stabilizes systems and maintains public health and safety. When we serve animals in the right place\, at the right time\, and provide the right care while working within our capacity\, we make it possible to achieve the right outcome for each individual animal. In this webinar\, Drs. Cindy Karsten and Kate Hurley will discuss how we can ensure the right outcome for pets and people facing challenges big and small. \nThis webinar is part 4 of “The Future Is Four: The Right Care in the Right Place at the Right Time to the Right Outcome Right Place” series. Register once for these four sessions\, which will be recorded. \nPresenters\nCynthia (Cindy) Karsten\, DVM\, Outreach Veterinarian\nThroughout her KSMP career\, Dr. Karsten has helped to identify and implement best practice protocols and capacity for care models at shelters across the United States and Canada. Dr. Karsten’s recent work has focused on leading shelter medicine Bootcamps\, concentrated six-week courses for shelter leaders. The Bootcamps combine online learning with twice-weekly Zoom meetings at which participants can ask questions of KSMP experts and share their own experiences with peers making change at other shelters. \nDr. Karsten became board certified in Shelter Medicine Practice in November\, 2017. Her main areas of interest include teaching and mentoring undergraduate and veterinary students\, working with shelter leaders on change management\, and providing accessible\, affordable veterinary care to everyone who seeks it. She also continues to work to understand her role and that of animal shelters in increasing awareness of social justice issues and implementing policies to bring about equity. \nKate Hurley DVM\, MPVM\, Maddie’s® Million Pet Challenge \nDr. Kate Hurley is the founding director of the Koret Shelter Medicine Program and co-founder of the Million Cat Challenge\, a shelter-based initiative to save the lives of one million more cats in five years. Over 1\,500 shelters more than tripled that goal\, between them saving over three million cats against their own baseline before joining the challenge. \nHurley’s research interests include welfare of confined dogs and cats\, humane and effective strategies to manage community cats\, and infectious disease prevention. She will always love shelter work because it has the potential to improve the lives of so many animals and the people who work so hard to care for them. \n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://maddiesfund-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_9UHVkuKcQbumXhwr-Y9puw
