Community-supported sheltering is a popular term in our industry right now. Navigating the intersection between the role of shelters, field services, government, and the public can be complicated. An integral part of a successful community-supported sheltering model is building trust with your community through transparency.
During this town hall, panelists from three organizations varying in size and location will discuss how they increased collaboration with their community by being transparent and maximizing community resources. They will share examples of how they were able to empower and support the public using effective communication strategies.
Following the discussion, there will be a Q&A. Submit your questions during registration or live during the event using the chat box. If you are interested in this event but unable to attend live, you can register and you will receive the recording when it’s available.
Moderator: Michelle Dosson, Executive Director of Best Friends in Utah
Panelists:
- Renee Gutierrez, Solano County (Fairfield, CA)
- Jon Gary, Oklahoma City Animal Welfare (Oklahoma City, OK)
