After a brief summer break, Weekly Community Conversations will return on Monday, August 4 with How Public-Private Partnerships Expand Access to Care.

Jessica Lopez (Executive Director/Founder, The Paw Mission) and Kristine Watson, MPA (Director, City of San Bernardino Animal Services) will lead the conversation. They join us from San Bernardino County where they are joining efforts to address the access to care challenges experienced county-wide. San Bernardino is the largest county in the U.S., and faces inequities that lead to barriers in housing and veterinary care – both impacting the health and well-being of people and their beloved pets. They will both share strategies they’ve applied to deliver access to care with community at the heart of their work.

These weekly calls for animal well-being professionals are held Mondays at 11AM PT/2PM ET call. The 50-minute calls are a collaborative space to share exciting new programs and research, discuss uncomfortable topics, connect with peers in the industry and more, all while sharing a common goal of preserving the human-animal bond.

What’s more, we are increasing the monthly grants giveaways from $5,000 to $10,000!

Please register for the new season. Even if you were registered for the previous season, you will need register again for these new calls.
