Agenda
- Welcome - Bobby Mann, Director of Human Animal Support Services

- The Association's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee has launched a historic, first-of-its-kind survey.
- All of us in animal welfare need to complete the survey and encourage our teams and colleagues to complete it.
- The results of this survey will help create a strategy of the work that lies ahead for us to make animal welfare a more diverse and inclusive profession.
- In order to get the most complete picture, we need to hear from everyone working in animal welfare from front line staff and officers in the field to fundraising staff, adoption counselors and managers
