Embracing Change: NACA Magazine Transitions to Biannual Issues

Embracing Change: NACA Magazine Transitions to Biannual Issues and Bids Farewell to Janet Conner

In a significant shift reflecting our commitment to quality content and strategic planning, the National Animal Care and Control Association (NACA) is excited to announce that our esteemed NACA magazine will now be published biannually, in the spring and fall starting in 2024.

This transition marks a new chapter for our organization, allowing us to focus on delivering even more impactful and thought-provoking content in each issue. We believe this shift will better serve our readers and align with the evolving needs of our community.

Accompanying this change is a bittersweet farewell to Janet Conner, who has been the heart and soul of the NACA magazine for the past 18 years. Janet has weathered the storms and celebrated the triumphs with unwavering dedication, leaving an indelible mark on our organization. Her energy, creativity, and tireless efforts have enriched the magazine and, in turn, the entire NACA community.

We cannot thank Janet enough for her passion, commitment, and the incredible work she has done to elevate the NACA magazine. Her editorial leadership has been instrumental in shaping the publication into a valuable resource for animal care and control professionals across the country.

As we bid farewell to Janet, we also express our deepest gratitude for the invaluable contributions she has made during her tenure. The NACA magazine owes much of its success to her vision, and we wish her all the best in her future endeavors.

Moving forward, we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead with our refreshed publishing schedule. We remain dedicated to providing timely, informative, and engaging content that continues to uphold the high standards set by Janet.

To our readers, supporters, and the entire NACA community, we appreciate your understanding and look forward to the continued journey together. Here’s to the next chapter of the NACA magazine and the legacy left by Janet Conner.

Updated NACA Resource Library

If there is one soap box I like to stand on, it is not recreating the wheel. So many times, in our industry the same thing is needed across multiple agencies, and wouldn’t we all like to save a few minutes in our day and not have to recreate the wheel someone else is already using smoothly? Sure, there will be tweaks, and adjustments necessary depending on your agency, budget, staffing, and other things however if we can help by providing you somewhere to start with, that is a win! With that in mind, NACA has reimagined its resources library available to members. By pulling together valuable resources to assist across the nation no matter if you are the agency just starting out, an officer in need of an operating procedure, or an organization looking to expand services – NACA aims to be one stop for all the animal care and control resource needs.

We know that time is the most precious asset and wanted to make sure that our resources were not only robust and covered a wide range of topics, but also designed in a way that made the most sense with the least amount of clicks possible to find what you need! Grouping these resources by type will further support the busy ACO when they are looking for sample forms while out in the field.

We hope you will take a minute to look through the resources library and let us know what you think! We hope to continue to grow this library and will continue to add more information as it becomes available. Currently, the full resource library is available to members only, however, we do have a growing public library as well for all to access.
