 Based on survey feedback collected over the past several years, this two-day agenda features speakers
 and topics that past attendees specifically requested.

 Dr. Elizabeth Berliner is returning from Cornell University to discuss Sanitation and Euthanasia
 Decisions.

Wellness/PTSD are hot topics that frequently come up when animal welfare professionals get together.
Dr. Jay A. Supnick, Board Certified in Police and Public Safety Psychology, has developed a workshop
called “Caring Without Breaking” specifically for us! Barb Hollands and Dr. Supnick have been
collaborating to tailor this specifically for animal control officers, as it previously did not exist. We are
thrilled to launch this animal welfare professional program on at our conference.

Writing Tickets & Citations are a necessary part of the job. How do you write a ticket? Local law versus
state law? What are the pieces? What is a deposition? Accusatory? Sufficient on its face? Is your current
paperwork sufficient to withstand court of law? Confused? You won’t be after this presentation by the
Town of Ogden Animal Control. Bring your local dog control law and prepare to ask questions. There will
also be an interactive component to this session.

Walk away certified in First Aid/Pet CPR! Safety Team Solutions is coming to certify attendees. Their
course offers a comprehensive introduction to the care and well-being of cats and dogs. Participants will
learn how to assess vital signs and identify behaviors that may indicate potential health concerns. The
curriculum also includes essential skills such as administering first aid for injuries and performing
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The training content for this conference will be specifically tailored
to provide animal control officers with practical knowledge and tools relevant to the field.

Of course, there will be the latest on Article 7 updates.
