Don't miss IMLA's May webinars! May 27th - Modernizing Animal Care: Updating Ordinances to Empower Communities and Save Lives. Click here to register.<https://members.imla.org/integratedEvents/home/2025-MAY-27-ANIMAL-RIGHTS-WEBINAR> As animal care and control agencies evolve into Pet Resource Centers, the role of ordinances in shaping community success has never been more critical. Outdated laws-some still referencing "dog catchers"-fail to address the modern approach to animal welfare. Data-driven decision-making now plays a key role in improving service delivery and enabling objective ordinance analysis. Are there provisions in your local laws that are ineffective or unenforced? Join this webinar to learn how updating policies can empower staff, engage the community, save animal lives, and reduce financial strain on municipalities. Speaker: Elise "Ledy" VanKavage & Scott Trebatoski May 20th - From Compliance to Chaos - Grant Guidance in a Modern World. Click here to register.<https://members.imla.org/integratedEvents/home/2025-MAY-20-GRANT-COMPLIANCE-WEBINAR> Free Live for IMLA Members - CLE available to Kitchen Sink Subscribers and in some cases to others but fees may apply. The world of Grants can be a very rewarding yet precarious place. From NOFO'S, terms and conditions, special terms and conditions, federal regulations, grant-specific guidelines and local laws and ordinances, grant guidance needs to be done with a keen eye towards compliance, but a watchful eye on political challenges and federal. state and local structural changes. Grant guidance and compliance is not a one-size-fits-all practice. Through this MCLE, you will learn the dos and don'ts of grant compliance and pitfalls that can subject your clients to potentially having to pay back three times the grant amount under a false claim act claim.
