The next Animal Grantmakers' Annual Conference is scheduled for November 16 - 17, 2009 in beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona.
The conference agenda is now available for download and registration will open in early July.
Members of Animal Grantmakers will be notified via email when registration is available.
Our topics this year include sessions on homeless cats
in America, shelter cats, animal sanctuaries, protection
of wildlife,
animal welfare in Canada and Mexico, and
farm animals.
The Animal Grantmakers' Annual Conference provides a unique opportunity for members to gather in informal settings, network and hear
from some of the leading experts in the field of animal protection on a wide variety of challenging issues and timely topics relevant to funders.
At past conferences, presentations and panel discussions have covered such broad topics as collaborative approaches to the surplus companion
animal problem, wildlife protection and environmental conservation, and the impact of euthanasia and laboratory animal sacrifice on animal care
workers. Featured speaks have included Earth Day founder Denis Hayes, presidential speech writer Matthew Scully, Humane Society of the United
States CEO Wayne Pacelle, Pew Trust's Josh Reichert, veterinary school dean Shirley Johnston, British zoologist David Macdonald, and dolphin
expert Denise Herzing.
Representatives of non-member foundations that are interested in learning more about Animal Grantmakers are invited to attend their first conference at no charge.
