What is the Missouri Animal Control Association?
The Missouri Animal Control Association (MACA) was founded in 1977 for the purpose of providing training, education, and support for animal care and control professionals across Missouri and surrounding states. Our membership includes animal control officers, humane officers, law enforcement officers, veterinarians and many other working in the field of animal care and control. Our members share the common goal of improving the welfare of animals through public education, law enforcement and legislation. MACA provides access to training and networking for its members. Most courses are "Post Certified Approved" for law enforcement officers.
What are the benefits of membership?
With your paid membership, you will receive MACA's quarterly news magazine, as well as the NACA News. You will be informed of all training opportunities both in Missouri and nationwide. Seminars are held across the state, and the annual meeting/ training program is held for three days each September. MACA also has access to a vast amount of training material available for the continuing education of its members. MACA offers its members the opportunity to become certified in their field. The certification exam may be taken by any MACA member who has worked in the field for at least six months. The training and credentials you receive from MACA will add to the professionalism that you take to work every day.
