We are pleased to again bring together animal welfare leaders in California for an all-inclusive, executive-level experience. Limited to the president, CEO, executive director, or animal care and control director of CalAnimals' animal shelter and animal control agency member organizations, this invitation-only event focuses on improving the welfare of our companion animals by joining and strengthening the animal welfare leaders. Come prepared to exchange ideas, socialize, and leave with a renewed sense of purpose and direction.
 

We hope to see you next year in San Diego.
