As The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement embarks on our next fifty years, we can’t help but look back and see how far we’ve come. We have grown immensely in membership and in our scope. Hopefully, we have made our founders proud by living out and expanding upon their 1970 vision of the field. Our members, numbering nearly 1,400, stem from all types of animal welfare organizations and represent seasoned veterans, emerging leaders, and everything in between. We are a variety of ages, genders, ethnicities, and races. We are from all 50 states and multiple countries. The Association is your Association. Your voice matters to us. Join us in June for three days of learning and conversation. We provide these online sessions for informational purposes only, and the views expressed in these workshops are not necessarily the views of The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement.

But changing the world is hard, and most change-makers spend their lives struggling to achieve their full potential. What common lessons can we learn from the most successful leaders and organizations at the heart of global change? Dex Hunter-Torricke, adviser for more than a decade to leaders from the United Nations, Google, Facebook and other global pioneers, presents some of the most powerful and surprising insights from his career that can offer a practical guide for all of us to use as we take on the world.

  • Tommy Dorsey 1 9
    TOMMY DORSEY 1 9 4 6 Prepared by: DENNIS M. SPRAGG CHRONOLOGY PART 1 - CHAPTER 12 Updated November 28, 2017 January 1946 INSIDE ORCHESTRAS – MUSIC “There has been considerable discussion in N. Y. about the reports of a fire at the Vogue Record Laboratories in Detroit, which is claimed to have destroyed masters of Art Mooney's first disks for that company. Apparently the feeling is that the first story was just an "out" for the company to evade promised release dates due to its inability to start production. Fire story, however, is on the level. Beside Mooney's masters, four sides by Charlie Shavers were destroyed. Shavers, trumpeter with Tommy Dorsey's band, had cut four jumpers with a small band.”1 TD – MCA SPAT LOOKS SETTLED “Tommy Dorsey's difficulties with Music Corp. of America, which led the leader several weeks ago to order MCA to stop booking his orchestra,, have been smoothed over. Dorsey and MCA execs had one or two meetings during the past week during which the differences were patched up. This was one dispute between the leader and MCA that was kept almost completely under cover. Its cause is still vague, although it is known that the friction was over money, not over the bookings. At any rate, Dorsey is again being submitted by the agency. He has nothing booked following the current Capitol theatre, N. Y. run and may go straight to the Coast after its completion. Incidentally, the, new contract between RCA Victor and Dorsey has been completed, It's a three-year deal, effective yesterday (Tues.) and replacing an old deal that still had more than a year to run.

This was the essence of arguments that Library managers made to the House Appropriations Committee on March 10 in support of preserving the Library’s budget base in fiscal 2007. The committee chairman, Rep. Jerry Lewis, R-Calif., said during the Library’s hearing that the committee, in its 2005 authorization of buyouts as a retirement incentive, had “looked to reduce funding for those [186] positions in ’07.” In appearances before the House panel and also the Senate Legislative Branch Appropriations Subcommittee on Michaela McNichol March 1, Librarian of Congress James H.

Learning and playing the violin helped me find my voice as a new way of expressing myself, but it also brought me closer to my Mexican culture. While residing in Tustin, California in 1991, we were one of the few Mexican families in the area. I always felt like something was missing because I had no one to connect with or speak Spanish with. In my musical journey, I began playing mariachi music at a young age and continue to do now. In this creative project, you will find photos of my journey and learn how I became part of multiple mariachi ensembles.
