2024 Ohio Fed Leadership Summit

2024 Ohio Fed Leadership Summit

Presented by the Kenneth A. Scott Charitable Trust

Friday, May 10, 2024

8:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.

@ Deer Creek Lodge & Conference Center, Mt. Sterling, OH

Registration Deadline EXTENDED to April 30, 2024

The goal of the Ohio Fed Leadership Summit is to create an opportunity for leaders in animal welfare in Ohio to come together and talk about what is happening in their communities, discuss ways they are currently addressing community needs, share ideas, and, hopefully, lay the groundwork for future collaborations. 

This special, one-day event will be structured with three blocks of time for breakout sessions and share-outs (see agenda below). Each breakout session will offer attendees a choice of three different topics chosen from topics submitted by the registrants in advance. The sessions will be a free-flowing exchange of ideas where you can safely share your thoughts and ask questions among supportive colleagues.

Come prepared with things your organization has tried and questions you have for colleagues. These conversations will be led by the attendees—our moderators will be there only to ensure everyone can share and to help keep the conversations going. The key points of each breakout session will be captured and shared with all attendees. 

ATTENDANCE

Attendance is:

• Limited to 50 attendees from Ohio Fed Member Organizations (non-members: see below about our wait list)

• Open to leaders who hold positions within the top two levels of their organization 

• Limited to no more than two people per organization

• $99 per person, which includes a continental breakfast, lunch and refreshment break 

DISCUSSION TOPICS

Based on feedback from our registrants, these are the nine broad topics we will be discussing at the Leadership Summit:

• Access to vet care;
• Staff & staffing issues (recruitment & retention/stress & burnout); 
• Humane investigations/concerns; 
• Adoptions & foster issues (addressing barriers/increasing fosters);
• Collaborations & mentoring (community/rescues & shelters); 
• Behavior (behavioral euthanasia & difficult to place dogs); 
• Transport; 
• Messaging (safety net programming/meeting community needs); 
• Fundraising & financial stability.
