    Hello!

     

    Sharing the agenda for the  Maddie's  Friday Animal Welfare Leadership Roundup (LINK TO REGISTER)

     

    1/21/22

    Topic One: Tom Kremer, Lead Data Analyst, Human Animal Support Services (HASS) will provide us a quick overview of a Lost and Found dashboard created for a HASS Pilot Shelters.  The dashboards are created using data submitted from a shelter's monthly collection of intakes, outcomes, monthly roster, and tracking of best practices recommendations from the HASS data team. 

     

    Topic Two: @kimberly spina, Foster Program Manager, will be discussing Good Home, a newly launched program of Greater Good Charities. This program connects qualified pet foster volunteers with animal shelters across the U.S. and also provides in-kind grants of animal care supplies, training, and resources for shelter partners on recruitment and retention of foster volunteers, and best practices for pets in care through adoption. They believe no pet should wait for an adopter in an animal shelter when it could wait in a Good Home.

     

    Topic Three: @Stacy LeBaron, Headcat, Founder at Community Cats Podcast will be sharing about the Community Cat Pyramid and how to create successful community sourced programs. She will also be discussing her work at Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society, along with other programs she is involved in AND will be talking to us about all things related to The Community Cat Podcast.

      - Amanda Gorman's opinion piece in the NY Times, Why I Almost Didn't Read My Poem at the Inauguration
    "Maybe being brave enough doesn't mean lessening my fear, but listening to it. I closed my eyes in bed and let myself utter all the leviathans that scared me, both monstrous and minuscule. What stood out most of all was the worry that I'd spend the rest of my life wondering what this poem could have achieved. There was only one way to find out…. I'm a firm believer that often terror is trying to tell us of a force far greater than despair. In this way, I look at fear not as cowardice but as a call forward, a summons to fight for what we hold dear. …The only thing we have to fear is having no fear itself - having no feeling on behalf of whom and what we've lost, whom and what we love."
      - Friday thought: "When I set aside my reactive first thought, I make room for a new, potentially life-changing idea." 🌟
