Join Kate McHugh-Westfall\, Embedded Data and Implementation Coordinator\, for an overview of this impactful project\, including how preliminary foot traffic data informed barrier-busting solutions. Additionally\, Regan Goins\, Outcomes Manager for Cincinnati Animal CARE\, and Jairus Hubbard\, Adoptions Supervisor for LifeLine Dekalb County Animal Services\, will join to share their experience and the impact of the Competitive Pet Placement project on their organizations. Vincent Medley\, Maddie’s® Director of Human Animal Support Services\, will moderate. \nRegister below and join us live on Thursday\, March 14 at 5 p.m. CT.
