Topic: Transformative Strategies for Sustainable Change in Animal Well-Being
Working in organizations in the animal well-being sector often means firefighting and responding reactively to urgent situations within communities. More and more in this ever-evolving landscape, animal well-being organizations are being called to balance their commitment to community care in this way with the need to address inequities and systemic barriers. Join Freedom Verses, a consulting firm rooted in equity and social justice, for an interactive session exploring our offerings to help build sustainable, inclusive practices within your organization and in the communities you serve. Discover how fostering collaboration, navigating conflict with a transformational justice lens, and rooting into your values can help align your work, not only with the needs of the communities most impacted, but also with the needs of your staff on the ground-- particularly those whose identities mirror the communities you work within. Whether you're rethinking decision-making models, deepening your commitment to equity, or addressing internal conflict, this session will showcase Freedom Verses' tools and approaches to help your organization create lasting change while staying true to its values.
