SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/25/23 - DPFL’s Approach to On-Leash Reactivity - Dogs Playing for Life
DESCRIPTION:Reactivity on the part of dogs living in shelters is a rampant issue that can contribute to behavioral deterioration\, increased length of stay\, and even loss of life. From a misdiagnosis of “aggression” to dogs whose reactive behavior escalates to problematic and potentially unsafe levels\, learning how to help dogs suffering from reactivity issues is a crucial need shared by our entire industry. \nWhile this webinar can be attended as a standalone course\, we highly recommend attending our Fancy Footwork webinar first. We will build on our Fancy Footwork approach to handling and training to offer practical training\, handling\, and safety solutions to on-leash reactivity for dogs living in shelters. \nThis is a 1.5-hour presentation followed by a Q&A session of approximately 30 minutes (we’ll go longer if there are questions remaining). This webinar will NOT be recorded and is scheduled on EASTERN TIME. \nThis webinar holds 500 attendees\, so register in advance\, and show up on time the day of the webinar (we’ll open it up 15 minutes early) to be sure to get a spot! \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ap6COGGKRCqV7urAGbyFbg

SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/25/23 - How to Develop Impactful Digital Stories that Drive Donor Action - Network for Good
DESCRIPTION:Stories are the heart of any organization. We use stories to inform\, inspire empathy\, and drive action. But how you tell those stories can take many forms. \nAs witnessing impact in person became limited over the last year\, stories needed to work harder to create connection. Being able to share stories in digital form to attract\, steward and retain a supportive community creates an incredible opportunity. \nBuilding the skills to identify a great story\, tell it well and convert words into image is a skill that will serve organizations no matter what the future holds. Join us as returning presenter Beth Brodovsky shares examples of effective digital storytelling and how to get there on any budget. \nYou’ll learn: \n\nHow to craft an impactful story arc\nWhere to look to find great stories\nMany ways to package stories for different digital experiences\n\nSpeaker: Beth Brodovsky\, President of Iris Creative Group Inc. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.networkforgood.com/resource/stw-develop-digital-stories/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/26/23 - Yes\, You Can Fundraise! Fundraising for Animal Welfare Government Agencies - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:Municipal animal care and control organizations are often scrambling for resources\, and supplies.  Staff dreams of the possibility of creating a system to have the community support their shelter and community programs with funds and resources but have often been told “No” by individuals who think that municipal animal organizations cannot accept funds outside of their approved budget.  This course will cover the basics of how to get past the “No” and how to develop a comprehensive fundraising and outreach program that will engage the community and bring in much-needed support. Topics such as convincing your government officials\, setting up the appropriate infrastructure to succeed\, an overview of fundraising techniques that work\, and how to communicate with potential supporters will be discussed. \nPresenter \nJulie Bank is the principal of JBankConsulting where she works with non-profit and municipal clients on assessments\, planning\, programming\, operations\, and administration.  She is also faculty at the University of Florida Veterinary School working on the development and teaching of an online class on Development and Fundraising for master’s students.  She has worked for over 30 years in private non-profit and governmental animal welfare and control agencies leading organizations in New York\, Arizona\, Oklahoma\, and California.  Julie specializes in organizational change within animal welfare and programs that support the shelter in supporting the human-animal bond.  She has worked nationally and internationally teaching others about shelter operations and programs and has visited hundreds of shelters to assist with organizational needs. Julie has a BS Degree in Management and Finance and an MIS Degree in Contemporary Animal Welfare and Non-profit management.  She shares her home with her partner\, their 14-year-old son\, her two dogs Malee and Bobbie\, two cats\, Cleo and Curley\, and the queen of the house\, their bearded dragon\, Sprite. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/yes-you-can-fundraise-fundraising-for-animal-welfare-government-agencies/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/27/23 - Neonatal & Pediatric Care & Resuscitation - Think Anesthesia
DESCRIPTION:Register here for our guest\, Amy Newfield\, MS\, CVT\, VTS (ECC) presentation on Neonatal & Pediatric Care and Resuscitation. The neonatal and pediatric patient can prove challenging when performing certain nursing techniques. The sheer size and lack of developmental anatomy result in challenges that are unique to this age group of canines and felines. Being prepared ahead of time with the understanding of what challenges one may face before caring for them is important. This presentation is worth 1 hour RACE approved CE for veterinarians and veterinary technicians. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.thinkanesthesia.education/live-webinar/2022/12/neonatal-pediatric-care-resuscitation
