I have some exciting news, everyone! I’ll be delivering remarks on social media best practices at the upcoming 2018 National Service Dog Conference put on by the Association of Service Dog Providers for Military Veterans (ASDPMV) here in Washington, D.C. The summit will take place from July 23-25, 2018.
Fun fact: I previously hosted a press conference on behalf of the hosting organization on Capitol Hill last summer. Also, I have worked with one of their member groups several times for their annual charity upland bird hunts.

This year, the conference will take place in Tysons Corner, VA. Here’s more on what to expect from this conference:
Join The Association of Service Dog Providers for Military Veterans at DoubleTree Tysons Corner for our 2018 Service Dog Conference for service dogs trainers and non-profits.
