Upcoming trip for NAPSA Workshop 2014

I had an exciting autumn last year, in part due to my participation in the 2013 Great Ape Summit in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. This year's autumn will not disappoint, either, due to yet another upcoming trip. I'm headed west again - just not so far west this time....

The annual conference of the North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance (NAPSA) is fast approaching and will be held in San Antonio, Texas in just about two weeks. I'm headed down with some colleagues from the Primate Rescue Center and am really looking forward to it. 

What's nice is that I'll see some familiar faces from my time at last year's Great Ape Summit and the work I've done in the year since. More importantly, this trip gives me the chance to attend and participate in numerous meetings and discussions about what's going on in the primate sanctuaries of our country. I've enjoyed my involvement with Primate Rescue Center this past year and am really happy to be able to augment and build upon what I've learned thus far.

The schedule includes some impressive speakers and tours of not one, but two area sanctuaries. This is a rare chance to learn about facilities that are usually closed to the public, and I am so glad I can take advantage of the opportunity.

I've never ridden a horse, I don't eat meat, and I don't speak with a twang, but I did buy some boots a few weeks ago...so I think I'm as ready for Texas as I'll ever be!

Do you know how hard it is to find decent animal-friendly boots?

I am, however, more than ready to increase my involvement with NAPSA and the amazing people who run our country's primate sanctuaries.

Let the countdown begin to NAPSA Workshop 2014...
