The Transparent Shelter, Building Trust with Your Community

What does it mean for a shelter to be truly transparent? In this session, no-kill leader, Kristen Auerbach, will tackle two separate but important topics in order for you to be one with your community. First, Kristen will explain the history of how a lack of transparency has led to mass killings in shelters. Second, she will describe some of the key characteristics of a truly transparent animal welfare organization.
