Kelsey Birtch happily accepted the 2015 Emerging Leader Award for her work with the City of Vancouver Animal Services.
She is a full-time
Licensing Liaison and her position includes attending
community engagement functions to promote the benefits of dog licensing. Birtch also has specialized promotional items used as licensing incentives. The
City of Vancouver believes she has been "instrumental in starting to
change the public perception."
“I have been loving all the amazing people and animals
I’ve been meeting and am looking forward to the many more opportunities out
there,” Birtch tells InfoStream.
Recently Ms. Birtch also began assistant teaching a
course in Langara College Vancouver’s Professional Dog Walker Program.
The Emerging Leader Scholarships were launched in 2010
to illuminate the up and coming leaders in the pet industry. The goal is to
grant these emerging leaders the opportunity to network with current leaders
and gain executive insight into their sector. The Emerging Leader program
illuminates future leaders for the benefit of organizations who wish to hire
emerging talent.

- PIJAC Canada
