Testimonials from CAWAs
Miguel Abi-hassan, CAWA, CEO, Halifax Humane Society:
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, Capital Projects Administrator, Humane Rescue Alliance:
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, Chief Operations Officer, Austin Humane Society:
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, Division Manager, Greenville County Animal Care:
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, Director of Animal Care and Experience, Arizona Humane Society:
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.
