In Person Educational Meetings

MAC typically hosts in-person meetings at least three times a year. Meetings feature guest speakers and are focused on issues and topics of interest to animal welfare professionals and volunteers.  They are entitled:

  • All About Dogs

  • Hot Topics

  • Whole Cat Workshop

Meetings are generally held on weekends from 9 am until between 1 pm and 3 pm. Some sessions can run all day. Meetings are normally held at the Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine in Grafton, MA, although we are experimenting with other days and locations.
