Why become a Summit Alumnus?

In today’s fast-paced business environment it can be hard to find the resources that allow us to look at ‘the big picture.’ Time and pressure often do not allow us to re-think and create new and improved solutions to age-old problems.

The Summit for Urban Animal Strategies attracts some of the brightest minds in the North American companion animal industry. Your attendance allows you to participate in executive level discussions, hear world-class speakers and network with others who face similar challenges.

Once nominated by a fellow Alumni and then approved by the Nominating Committee, the Alumni status will give you the tools you need to bring practical solutions to your organization and inspire industry stakeholders to work collaboratively to create a healthier community for pets and people.

By being a part of the alumni group, you become a part of the solution. This results in significant benefits for you, as an individual, for your organization and for your community.

What does this mean for you?

As an Alumnus, you have access to a proprietary ‘Alumni Only’ section of the tsuas.com website and the Open Space Wiki that provides a wealth of information, including:

Directory: Published to encourage and facilitate continued dialogue and is for exclusive use of alumni in good standing. It includes the names and contact information for more than 160 thought leaders from all four sectors of the companion animal industry – animal control/legislation, animal health/wellness, animal welfare and animal services.

Resources: Designed to facilitate information sharing and the implementation of ideas and concepts discussed at the ISUAS. This information is updated on a regular basis.

Current resources include:

·  A summary of the most recent and past Urban Animal Survey

·  Presentations from various presenters and industry experts

·  Recommended links, books and other resources

·  Industry affiliations and community stakeholder news

·  News and views from other industry thought leaders

Keep the conversation going in Open Space: Long after the International Summit is concluded for the year, Alumni can continue their conversations and initiatives on the Open Space Wiki. This technology allows for ease of use and sharing of resources and meeting notes.

Discounts: Special consideration is given to the Alumni group, for such things as event registration and subscriptions to the annual survey.

Don't forget to take advantage of the Early Bird Special and save $250 on your ISUAS registration until April 30th.
