We're Official!
We are now officially a committee!
Thanks to all of the attendees at last night's General Meeting who brought up great discussion points and voted us in as a committee. We're excited to get the chance to serve the PSFC membership in this area. We look forward to putting together a diverse committee to help with this work.
Now, how do you join? Good question!
In the near future, we'll be posting a call for applicants for the committee both here and in the Linewaiter's Gazette. In the meantime, we'll be having some discussions with both staff and other committees about the best way to get the information we'll have back out to PSFC members. Some good points were raised during the GM with regards to how the information will be available to the PSFC membership. Product lists? Shelf labeling? General information on what certain terms mean? Online component? Product reference binders? We want to make sure we're pulling in committee members who are suited to researching and getting the information back out to the members using whichever methods we decide work best for PSFC membership!
What we do already know about who we'll be looking for:

Since the AWC's focus is on providing members with animal welfare-related information so they can purchase items according to their values, research skills and respectful communication skills will be key for us. We will be striving for omnivores, vegetarians and vegans who can work collaboratively towards a common goal, which is providing accurate information about products to members (both on animal testing for cosmetics/household goods and animal treatment conditions for "food" animal products). We're not yet sure how the research we do will be communicated to the PSFC membership so holding off on asking for any specific skills in those areas.Please stay tuned! If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at PSFCanimals@gmail.com
