SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/21/26 - Implementing Pilot Programs: Turning Ideas into Action in Your Organization - Best Friends
DESCRIPTION:Pilot programs can be one of the most powerful tools shelters and rescues have to drive meaningful change — when they’re designed\, implemented\, and measured thoughtfully. Whether you’re testing a new approach to foster engagement\, field services\, intake diversion\, or another lifesaving strategy\, pilots allow you to start small\, learn quickly\, and build the case for lasting impact. \nRegister to join live on Thursday\, May 21 at 4pm ET. \nIn this panel‑style webinar\, you’ll hear from three shelter leaders about pilot programs they launched to address critical challenges in their communities: Dr. Joanne Stephens\, Veterinarian\, MatSu Animal Shelter in Alaska; Kassy Selmon\, Director\, Harrison County Animal Control in West Virginia; and Anastasia Ramsey\, Superintendent\, Fort Worth Animal Care and Control in Texas. Audrey Lodato\, Senior Director of Regional Programs\, Best Friends Animal Society\, will moderate. \nPanelists will walk through how they identified the change they wanted to see\, built internal and external support\, and advocated for trying something new\, even when resources or buy‑in were limited — speaking candidly about what worked\, what didn’t\, and the lessons they wish they’d known at the start. Attendees will come away with practical advice and actionable guidance about launching a pilot program in their shelter or rescue. \nWhether you’re a shelter leader\, manager\, staff member\, or volunteer — this webinar is for anyone looking for practical\, achievable ways to test new ideas\, build momentum for change\, and move lifesaving efforts forward — one pilot at a time. Save your seat and join live! \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://bestfriends-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/4917520773897/WN_GnL1xdtnTt2RIy-AgP_Wdw
