Testimonials from CAWAs
Miguel Abi-hassan, CAWA:
I personally feel that being a CAWA and continually advancing my education fosters confidence in my decision-making process. I believe becoming a CAWA has improved communications with my teams, external decisionmakers, and my board.
Beau Archer, CAWA:
One of my favorite aspects of having my CAWA is that I get to interact with other CAWAs and also folks who may be interested in learning more about the certification program.
Katie Luke Broaddus, DVM, CAWA:
As I transitioned from Chief Veterinarian to COO, I knew I needed more knowledge to help guide my decisions for our organization. The preparation for CAWA certification was excellent for rounding out my experience as I moved into this new role.
Shelly Simmons, CAWA:
Becoming a CAWA gives leaders a competitive edge in the job market and helps executives gain respect in the animal welfare community as a subject matter expert in the industry.
Linda Anderson, CAWA:
Animal welfare needs you, like-minded, driven professionals, to improve the world of animal sheltering. The pride you will experience and opportunities that will present themselves make it all worthwhile. Stay focused and strong; the journey is not easy but well worth it.
