SAFE Board of Directors members Kyle Putnam, Sara Hall, Jeanette Parrett, and Debi Shatos recently attended an all day seminar hosted by the ASPCA. The Equine Welfare Professionals Workshop provided an opportunity for our Board members to learn about effective Board structure, fundraising, and best practices. A segment on coalition building provided an opportunity to discuss ways that animal welfare organizations in our area can work together to benefit each other.
Kyle Putnam shared that she was particularly impressed with the information presented regarding accreditation through the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS). She hopes to explore the possibility of SAFE beginning the accreditation process in the near future.
SAFE would like to thank the ASPCA Equine Fund for the grant money which helped offset the expenses of the Board Members who attended.
