K1K9 Authorized KAIR™ Facilities.
Coming in the November 15, 2026 Phase 2 announcement: the K1K9 Authorized KAIR™ Facilities program, with participation information and program requirements.
Facilities interested in the program may request information now. An inquiry, nomination or weekly editorial feature does not confer KAIR authorization. Only facilities formally approved by K1K9 will be identified as authorized.
Request program information →A weekly newsletter for members.
Planned to begin November 15, 2026, the member newsletter will bring together new articles, selected community stories, podcast and video news, class announcements and ecosystem updates.
Request newsletter enrollment using your membership email. We will confirm membership and enrollment before delivery begins. This request does not activate an automated email subscription. Newsletter enrollment is optional and separate from other inquiries.
Request newsletter enrollment →Community contribution standards.
Keep contributions respectful and on topic. No profanity, harassment, name-calling, threats or unsupported personal accusations. Constructive disagreement is welcome. Submissions are reviewed before publication. Violations may result in removal of content, loss of community access, or membership suspension or termination, subject to the applicable membership terms.
Discuss the idea, not the person. Support factual claims with relevant references. Do not share confidential operational information, private records or material you do not have the right to submit. Disclose commercial interests.
Ratings and comments are submitted for editorial review. No rating averages or public comment threads are displayed until an appropriate publishing system is operating. Membership or publication decisions are not made automatically by this form.
Private submission information is used to respond and review your contribution. Public display requires your permission. See our privacy notice and membership terms.
