I Importance: High I Donna and Thom: We do not believe that Ms.Shapiro qualifies for this position. This is my own opinion, and the ASAB Chair, Susan Elmore, DVM, concurs on the basis of her review of Ms.Shapiro's application and the supplemental information she provided to us at your request. The basis of this recommendation is that Ms. Shapiro has no qualifications as a trainer and/or handler and that her education and training as a technician is quite limited. In particular, she does not have substantial clinical experience; she has not earned a degree in the field from an institution of higher education; and she is not a Registered Veterinary Technician (which in North Carolina occurs via the NC Veterinary Medical Board on the basis of degree completion). The ACT courses she has taken are online resources that are used by vet clinics for staff development but they are not restricted to vet clinic staff. As the public may take and pass an ACT course, dong so does not indicate proficiency or experience as an animal technician. These online courses do not replace the knowledge and training that someone can get from an AVMA recognized Veterinary Technology Program (www.avma.org) nor what one can get from actually working in the field. Both Dr. Elmore and I believe that it is important to make this recommendation despite the disappointment we expect it to cause Ms. Shapiro. This is the only ASAB position, besides the two for veterinarians, that has qualifications. Given the rapid changes that are continuing in the field of animal service and welfare, and not least the ongoing process of professionalization throughout the field, we believe it is very important that these qualifications be met by the BOCC's appointment.

Importance: High i Dear Bob, I have read Andrew Wood's application and, although I can appreciate his commitment to serve, he does not appear to have any relevant experience in the field of animal welfare or advocacy. It is my understanding that anyone to be considered for the position of animal advocate should have some prior experience that demonstrates a commitment to animal welfare and/or advocacy. None of Mr. Wood's prior community activities or organizational memberships fall under this category. i My recommendation is that we try and identify a candidate who does have these qualifications.
