NARHA National Conference Session Highlight |
|
 This
year's workshops and sessions at the 2010 NARHA
National Conference (presented by Purina) promise to
be outstanding. This year we have TWO Administrative
Tracks that will stimulate thinking about your center.
Some of the exciting sessions are " Event
Planning Tips and Strategies" with
Christy Landwehr, a session that will cover all
aspects of event planning, including budgets,
timelines, fundraisers and insurance; " Make
Your Volunteer Program a Win-Win Opportunity"
with Jeanna Pellino, which will help you provide great
opportunities for learning to your volunteers; and " Leveraging
the Latest Technology for EAAT" with
Himanshu Jain, which will teach you to use the
Internet, Google tools and webinars to promote your
center and help you meet common center challenges.
These are only a few of the Administrative Track
sessions. There are many more! And that's not even
mentioning the Research, Integrative Programming and
Practical Application Tracks. There is a plethora of
offerings for everyone!

Movie About Temple Grandin Wins Emmy |
|
 With all the talk about the National Conference coming up in November, many of our members are recalling previous conferences. The 2006 conference in Indianapolis, IN, was particuarly memorable, as Temple Grandin, a woman with high-functioning autism, spoke as the keynote. Grandin revolutionized practices for the humane treatment of livestock in cattle ranches and slaughterhouses. She is a Doctor of Animal Science and a professor at Colorado State University. She is also a bestselling author and consultant to the livestock industry for animal behavior and is well known for her work in autism advocacy.
The HBO original movie Temple Grandin, which debuted last February, garnered 15 Emmy nominations and seven wins. Actress Claire Danes won the 2010 Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Movie for her portrayal as Temple Grandin. The movie also won the Emmy for Outstanding Made for Television Movie.
