In this webinar\, you’ll learn the skills that will get you through the rough spots without the blow up\, and master the fine art of the magnet walk and while you develop strategy that can help get you back out and about!

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/22/21 - Don't dread the Strategic Plan! - Getting 2 Zero
DESCRIPTION:Does talk of strategic planning make your team’s eyes role with “here we go again”? Have you got a strategic plan that was fun to create but sits on the shelf un-read once the real world takes over again? Or do you create great strategies with fabulous intentions but a couple of months later you just can’t work out why it’s not working out\, until eventually everyone slips back into the old habits? \nTrust us\, you’re not alone. Statistically\, 60-70% of change initiatives\, especially strategic plans\, fail. Why? Because we believe that the work is in the creation of a plan\, rather than delivery of it. Because the nature of shelters and the nature of people is that when the going gets tough\, we revert to what we’re comfortable with. \nThis session is an introduction to how to ensure your strategic plan is aspirational enough AND deliverable. On how to create a vision that inspires\, how to ensure your organisation is moving forward\, how to engage your people in the plan. And the step we usually miss: how to implement it in a way that ensures it’s not just a document that sits on a shelf until the next planning session in three years. \nIf any of this resonates with your organisation\, this session is absolutely for you – and for you to invite your Board/CEO/senior managers to attend with you! \nSession presenter: Dr Jess Moore-Jones \nJess has been Executive Manager\, CEO and Senior Advisor to shelters large and small\, local and international\, government and charitable. Having worked with more than a dozen shelters to assist with culture\, structure\, strategy and operational delivery (as well as some niche passions such as human behaviour for animal welfare and professional resilience)\, Jess has seen so many ways of doing things that she is able to pull all the best ideas together\, and work out how they can be applied to each organisation’s unique challenges and opportunities. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_JUSsBZGRSlmtzT32NBxi3Q

SUMMARY:Online Event - 4/27/21 - Maddie's® Candid Conversations Series - Ariel Zhang\, Animal Foundation - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an open\, informal 30-minute conversation and Q+A with Ariel Zhang\, Senior Director of Strategic Initiatives at the Animal Foundation. Hosting the talk is Mary Ippoliti-Smith\, one of Maddie’s Fund’s executive leadership team members. \nAs a young immigrant who moved across multiple continents and countries\, Ariel watched her parents work hard to start something better for their family. They had no roots or connections in the US but that made Ariel recognize\, in her words\, a “world of opportunities.” But those came at a steep price – one that forged Ariel’s determined drive for compassion among humans and animals. \nCome away inspired to promote lifesaving by engaging your local community through global language. Afterwards\, continue the conversation with Ariel on Maddie’s Pet Forum. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYtcOihrzkrHNSjsaIaYZ3jbFSWGqg48lmq

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/29/21 - Turning Data Into Insight - CalAnimals
DESCRIPTION:Data is one of the essential tools that leadership\, staff\, and advocates have\, yet it often seems overwhelming and impossible to understand.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/29/21 - Your End of the Leash Part Two: Breathe! It’s good for you (and your dog!) - Suzanne Clothier (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is the second in the Your End of the Leash series\, which focuses on helping handlers become the best possible partners for their dogs.  \nNo matter how smart your dog may be\, no matter how much he knows or can do\, he still depends on you as his partner.  \nWould you want a partner who was tense with gritted teeth and tight breathing? Or would you prefer a relaxed partner\, whose movements and expression showed enjoyment in working with you?  \nThis webinar focuses on the simple but oh-so complicated basic of life itself: breathing. We’ll cover:  \n\nBreathe! Why in and out is the best choice \nBreathing as communication – what you tell your dog (maybe without meaning to) \nEffects of breathing on learning & performance \nObserving breathing patterns in yourself and others \nCoaching others \n\nYou’ll learn practical techniques to help yourself (and your students) create greater awareness about breathing\, along with ways to practice here\, there and everywhere.  \nBonus: what you learn in your quest to become your dog’s best partner turns out to be helpful in the rest of your life! Breathing awareness can help you relax\, reduce tension and stress\, and understand how your breathing can affect others.  \nJOIN US!  \nALL WEBINARS ARE RECORDED. A link will be sent to you 48 hours after the completion of the webinar for you to access the recording and watch at your convenience.  \nIf you need CEUs for IAABC or PPAB\, instructions on how to get those CEUs will be made available during the webinar. CEUs for IAABC and PPAB are pending.  \nIf this is your first time using GoToWebinar do not forget to test your connection. GoToWebinar offers a test webinar so you can trouble shoot ahead of time.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/29/21 - Making the Call: Simple\, Gross Neglect or Cruelty? - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:When should you charge?  Is it Simple or Gross Neglect?  When does it rise to Cruelty?  Do you know?  Are you letting them slide when you should be charging them?  This presentation will examine how to make the call.  We will have interactive slides and interactive participation with a discussion about the answers.  We will explore strategies to gain compliance and the cut-off point to charge and move through the criminal justice process.\n\nOther Upcoming Webinars with this Speaker include: \n\nFeb 4: What ACO’s Need to Know about Puppy Mills\nApril 29: Making the Call: Simple\, Gross Neglect or Animal Cruelty?

We believe only carefully selected and properly trained animal control personnel can correct community problems resulting from irresponsible animal ownership. NACA’s purpose is to preserve the Human/Animal Bond by insisting on responsible animal ownership. \n  \n \n  \nThe National Sheriffs’ Association (NSA) is one of the largest associations of law enforcement professionals in the United States\, representing more than 3\,000 elected sheriffs across the nation\, and a total membership of more than 20\,000. NSA is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising the level of professionalism among sheriffs\, their deputies\, and others in the field of criminal justice and public safety. Throughout its seventy-seven year history\, NSA has served as an information clearinghouse for sheriffs\, deputies\, chiefs of police\, other law enforcement professionals\, state governments and the federal government. \n\n\n\n\n** This webinar has been certified by the National Sheriffs’ Association and may be eligible for Continuing Education Units through your POST. Please consult your local certification processes for additional details. Paid subscribers that attend will be able to download a jointly issued attendance certificate that includes the National Sheriffs’ Association logo. \nPresenters: \nMichelle Welch is a Senior Assistant Attorney General in the Virginia Attorney General’s Office.  She is the Director of the Animal Law Unit at the Attorney General’s Office.  She is charged with taking all animal law questions in Virginia.  She is called on by agencies all over the Commonwealth to act as a special prosecutor in animal cruelty and animal fighting cases.  Ms. Welch has also been appointed a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Virginia to aid in animal fighting prosecutions. \nMs. Welch frequently gives advice to law enforcement authorities and prosecutors all over Virginia\, the nation and internationally.   She trains prosecutors\, animal control and law enforcement officers on the state of Virginia animal law and testified before a U.S. Congressional Caucus examining the enforcement of animal laws and the cooperation between state and federal partners.  She is a speaker at many conferences including Virginia Animal Control Association and the Association of Prosecuting Attorneys’ National Animal Cruelty Conference. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.nacanet.org/webinars/
