Join us for the Animal Welfare Leadership Roundup on Friday, Oct. 22nd at 8am PT! This call will be divided into the following two sessions:

Session One: Building a strategy: how planning creates proactiveness
Ashlee Drosher will be discussing how developing your strategy now will help you stay proactive and work towards success. Whether you're a one person team or a large organization, this presentation will offer concrete steps to create a dynamic and useful plan of action.

Session Two: Dr. Ellen Jefferson and the HASS "Role of the Non-Profit Organization" Part 2 
Dr. @ellen jefferson will lead an open discussion about the current and future role of the non-profit animal welfare agency and we want to hear what you think, so this section will primarily be questions posed to be discussed by the group. This will be a highly participatory section, so if you have thoughts or questions about the role of the non-profit or what we talked about last week, we want to hear them!

You can register for the call here and be sure to revisit this thread to access the recording and related resources.​

As promised, here is Ashlee's presentation from today.

Thanks to the 175 live attendees on this morning's call and to our presenters for leading the discussion. You can watch the recording here on YouTube and ask any follow up questions or share your thoughts on the questions posed during the call on this discussion thread.

We've also added a copy of the chat file where there was some great discussion about the role of the non-profit. And as Ashlee Droscher shared during her presentation on strategy, more than a quarter of nonprofits raise between 26%-50% of their annual funds during year-end asks. And since 53.8% of nonprofits start planning their year-end appeal in October, now is the time to set your fundraising goals and get those campaigns going!
