I was honored to be asked to deliver a TED-style talk at the Animal Grantmaker's Conference. This event featured some incredibly accomplished speakers from the animal welfare and rights communities, and was held October 23-26, 2022 in Berkeley, CA.
This was my first trip to travel and present since pre-pandemic, and it felt amazing to see new sights, make new friends, and meet up with old ones at the conference.
My talk was titled "Making it Work: The emergency rehoming of 40 chimpanzees when no homes are available, and the village that sprung up to save them" - all about the emotional journey it has been to lead the collaborative Chimpanzees in Need rescue effort. It felt great to finally dip my toes into the waters of in-person events once again.
All information about this conference can be found here, and I will post the recording of my talk when it is available. Thank you so much to Animal Grantmakers for having me. I look forward to next time!
