E16 - [IN-PERSON ONLY] Building a Professional Network in the Animal Care and Use Community

This session is being held in-person only at PRIMR23. It will not be recorded for on-demand access or for the PRIMR23/SBER23 Virtual Meeting.

In our profession of research administration, where traditional career paths are not always applicable, professional satisfaction and growth often involves cultivating a professional network. This session provides insights on how to build your own professional network in nonhuman animal research administration and considerations for tailoring a network that fits your interests. Building a professional network successfully can help you feel empowered, energized, and more confident in your career, which ultimately supports the mission to ensure ethical conduct of research. The presenters will provide creative approaches to professional networks and models for success in key areas of professional development.
