10. Why was NAPRP established?

NAPRP was established because of the founder's experience in working with animal shelters and rescue groups. After her promotion, marketing, and administration experience with her local shelter, she has been asked to consult with other rescue groups. Watching them "reinvent the wheel" and struggle with the same problems caused her to realize there was a need for a central resource.

11. How do I call in and participate in teleseminars?

We send information to members with call-in information for upcoming seminars. You just call in using the phone number we provide. Calling into a teleseminar is as easy as making a long-distance call to your Mom. If you can't listen in live, you can download an audio file and listen to the call later.

12. Do I need special equipment to listen to the teleseminar audios later?

To listen to the previously recorded calls you will need a program that lets you to listen to MP3 files. You download the MP3s from the private membership area.

13. How can I support the growth of NAPRP and spread the word?

If you recruit a business for a Vendor Membership or three other people in rescue for Individual Memberships, your membership (or renewal) is FREE. Got three friends in rescue? Tell them about us. Or submit a testimonial. If you like the NAPRP, let us know ;-)

14. Why have you chosen to operate as a for-profit entity?

The NAPRP is a for-profit entity that is owned by Logical Expressions, Inc. We have opted not to be a non-profit for several reasons.

Operating as a for-profit entity gives us the budget to deliver services that might be difficult for a non-profit, including a state-of-the-art Web site, audio programs, and books.

Many associations actually have a for-profit structure, although they often don't advertise the fact. We also have seen first-hand what happens when turnover in Boards of Directors causes upheaval and change in the mission and direction of an organization. We want to ensure that our mission and vision is retained as the association moves forward.

Infighting and politics have destroyed far too many non-profits and online groups. That is why we have invested our own funds and effort into the start up of the NAPRP. There is a real need in the humane community for people to stop fighting and start working together. Our goal is to deliver products and services that that can help.

We are committed to remaining neutral with no ties or obligation to any one humane organization. Our goal is to serve our members to the best of our ability without any conflict of interest or show of favoritism.

15. I want to send mail to the NAPRP. Where do I send it?
