Earn a Certificate of Completion
Our live panel discussions are sponsored by our partner, the University of Denver's Institute for Human-Animal Connection. Participants who attend all three live panel discussions during the Summit are invited to download a certificate of completion with three contact hours documented. This certificate is offered at no cost to participants and will be available to download at the end of the Summit. We recommend checking with your state regulatory agency to determine if the panel discussions and certificate will meet the continuing education requirements for your profession.
Enter to Win a Box of Humane-Themed Books
We are delighted to partner with The Gryphon Press, the leading publisher of humane education children's picture books, for an exciting giveaway during the Summit. Thanks to their generous sponsorship, and a grant from The Reynolds Foundation, participants who make a donation in any amount to the Humane Education Coalition during the event will be entered to win one of seven boxes of books from The Gryphon Press! These beautifully illustrated children’s picture books help educators teach about the vital issues that animals face and present those issues in such a way that children gain insights into and develop empathy for all living beings. Please make a contribution to the Coalition to enter to win.
