Northern Tier Shelter Initiative Zoomie #1: Use Your Data to Develop Impactful Programs
About this Webinar
The Northern Tier Shelter Initiative (NTSI) is an ASPCA program that provides consultations, training, and grants to animal welfare agencies in Alaska, Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. The NTSI works with brick-and-mortar shelters, non-profit veterinary clinics, and Indigenous communities in the Northern Tier to improve the quality of life for companion animals. We know our partners are strapped for time, so our Zoomies are streamlined and focused to get you back to your lifesaving work ASAP.
With community need for services on the rise and budgets already stretched thin, making smart, strategic decisions based on data and trends is more important than ever. Join colleagues from the seven Northern Tier states, plus a data expert from Pethealth, Inc., as we explore exclusive data and share ways to use these insights when making tough program choices. During this interactive session, presenters will answer your questions as you engage with colleagues, industry experts, and the Northern Tier Shelter Initiative team.
