As a municipal shelter, it may be challenging to convince local leaders you cannot be progressive without proper funding. Amy-Jo Sites share three different projects that were approved and financially supported by both the Fort Wayne City administration and their City Council. She will share strategies municipal shelter leaders can use to help gain the confidence they need to pursue and get more funding. No one knows your shelter like you do, it’s time to show those who hold the financial power that animal welfare is an important community service and should be supported properly.
This session, both live and the recording, has been approved for:
- 1 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credit
- 1 CFRE CE
- 1 NACA CE
- 1 CE towards ACO CE requirements per Ch. 829 of the Texas Health and Safety Code by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS)
This session was presented at The Spring Conference for Animal Welfare Advancement 2021.
