A Letter from the Treasurer
Hello Members from the CAACO board. We all hope you are maintaining your cool as the hot summer days are upon us. As usual in the field of animal care and control, spring and summer are much busier than all of us would like. I know I am already looking forward to the slower days of winter.
Our annual Spring Conference in April was a great success! We had a great turnout this year, especially for the Melinda Merck session. Attendees turned in great evaluations for this conference and had some suggestions for improvement. We welcome your ideas, suggestions and comments, good or bad. Providing quality education for animal care and control officers is a very important part of our mission and we strive very hard to fulfill that mission with our Spring and Fall Conferences. We are in the planning phase for the Fall Conference in Glenwood Springs right now, so if you have any training requests or suggested speakers that were not turned in at the Spring Conference; send them to us as soon as possible.
We are still looking for an Education Coordinator so if you are interested and have time to commit to the position, contact a CAACO Board Member and express your interest. This position is responsible for working with Board Members to develop, arrange and conduct our training conferences. The person in this position receives tuition and lodging at the conferences. We look forward to hearing from interested candidates.
We also want to encourage you to submit articles for the newsletter and the website. The newsletter reaches the CAACO membership and the website reaches untold numbers of people. Both are great tools for spreading the word about your organization, cases you have handled or anything animal care and control related. Share your wisdom and your experiences; we want to hear from YOU!
We hope to see many of you at the Fall Conference; Glenwood Springs is beautiful in October! Don’t miss this great training opportunity. Watch for more details on the website, www.caaco.org
Stay safe out there!
Julie Justman
CAACO Treasurer
