On this morning's Shelter & Rescue Support Call, we heard from @Ariel Zhang, Chief Strategy Officer of The Animal Foundation about inclusive strategic planning.
Session Info: The growing complexity of animal welfare is becoming more challenging to navigate as we face external factors such as staffing shortages, changing regulations, and shifting community needs. Although we can't predict the future, leaders are tasked to invest their limited resources in building programs and strategies with the highest impact and longevity. While animal welfare moves to a community support model, leaders must ensure their organizations give everyone a seat at the table. You can now watch the recording of this session to get a practical guide to mapping foresight and inclusive strategic planning.
