Baltimore, MD � Ken Shapiro and Kim W. Stallwood are
pleased to announce that their respective organizations, the Society and
Animals Forum and the Institute for Animals and Society, are merging to
form the Animals and Society Institute (ASI).
Because SAF and IAS have long shared similar purposes,
ideologies, and methodologies, Shapiro and Stallwood believe the nonprofit
�bottom line� (program effectiveness, focused mission, long-term policy
changes) will be better served by a combined entity. �We�re looking
forward to the positive synergy that will come from putting our
complementary resources to work toward a common goal,� Shapiro said.
The Animals and Society Institute will be an independent
research and educational organization that advances the status of animals
in public policy and promotes the study of human-animal relationships. Its
primary office will be at the Baltimore location previously occupied by
the IAS. �Our respective members and supporters have much to look forward
to as we begin this exciting new venture together,� Stallwood said.
Shapiro and Stallwood will each hold the title of
Co-executive Director, and will jointly assume managerial responsibility
for the new organization. ASI�s programs include:
* The Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science
* The Society and Animals Journal
* Human-Animal Studies Book Series
* The Violence Link Program
* The Animals� Platform
* The Annual International Compassionate Living Festival (in conjunction
with the Culture and Animals Foundation)
ASI�s senior staff includes Jill Howard Church,
communications director; Mary Ann Lauffer, education director; and Martha
Powers, marketing director.
