Best Friends Conference

In May 2026, Chris was asked to represent Action 4 Animals along with two other volunteers at the National Best Friends Society Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah. It was a 3 day conference where all things animal rescue and welfare were discussed. While there, Chris networked with animal shelter professionals, promoted A4A's flyout program with the Southwest Airlines Animal Transport Team, and brought back strategies and ideas that were immediately implemented by the A4A Doggie Brigade. These immensely beneficial strategies covered shelter operations and protocols, fundraising and grant writing, transportation networking, and mental health awareness in the animal rescue profession.
