ASP Member

I apologize for the lack of posts. My new position at the North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance (NAPSA) and the independent consultant work I continue to do for the Primate Rescue Center is keeping me rather busy. Not rather, but VERY busy. I love it and wouldn't have it any other way.....but it leaves little time for blogging.

However - good things have happened in the interim!

I am pleased to be a new member of the American Society of Primatologists. Along with some of my NAPSA colleagues, I will be speaking at their annual conference in Bend, Oregon this coming May.
My presentation is entitled "The Evolution of Primate Sanctuaries In The United States" and I promise it will be quite thrilling.

Other events in the pipeline include a trips to Chicago for a NAPSA retreat, and to Portland, Oregon for NAPSA's annual workshop.

For now, that's plenty, I assure you!

Joining NAPSA!

I am thrilled to announce that I have been hired as a Program Manager for the North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance (NAPSA). Click here for the full press release.

NAPSA was founded in 2010 by the directors of seven of the leading chimpanzee sanctuaries on the continent. The mission of NAPSA is to advance and advocate for the welfare of captive primates.

I could not be more pleased to be joining such an esteemed and talented group of people. The work they do is invaluable, and I am honored to play a part.

Primate Rescue Center online auction

Today kicks off the Primate Rescue Center's online auction. Add it to the list of auctions my book has been involved with!

The auction runs from November 12 through the 25th and features a great selection of items that are both primate related and....well, normal items.

I couldn't be happier to have the sale of my book benefit the sanctuary that not only gave me my start in the primate world, but also permitted me to have one of their residents (Boo) on the cover of my book.

Here's to a successful auction!
