New England Federation of Humane Societies 74th Annual Conference

Welcome to the 74th annual conference put on by the New England Federation of Humane Societies. Our conference includes basic knowledge for those just starting out, advanced knowledge for those who have specialized in an area, and progressive discussions to lead us into the future as our field changes. The NEFHS connects animal welfare professionals so that they can learn from each other and collaborate.

This year’s scholarship funding is provided by the John T. and Jane A. Wiederhold Foundation.
