Hi, creativePAW volunteers!
I just received this e-mail:
*****
My name is Karen and I’ve been working professionally in the animal
welfare field for about 13 years. I currently work for the Alliance
for Contraception in Cats & Dogs and previously worked at Best Friends
Animal Society. My special area of interest is in communication,
culture and conflict in the animal welfare field. I’ve recently
completed a degree in Organizational Communication and a Certificate
in Conflict Resolution and Mediation. My capstone project was the
creation of a conflict resolution handbook for animal welfare workers.
I am eager to share this group as a free resource for those working
(either in paid or volunteer positions) in this field. I’ll be
presenting a workshop on this topic at the No More Homeless Pets
Conference this October.
I am seeking volunteer help with designing the handbook. It will not
be terribly long (about 7,500 words–more like a booklet). The content
is essentially complete (getting a little more input from reviewers,
currently, but nearly done), but I’ve done essentially no formatting
up to this point. I do have some ideas about the tone and basic
design. The handbook will be accessed primarily online as a pdf; I’d
like the design to look good whether viewed on a screen or printed on
a home or office printer.
If you are interested in working on this project, please contact me at
ka...@acc-d.org or on my cell at
503-310-4265. I am based in Portland,
Oregon, so in the Pacific time zone.

Thanks, volunteers!
