51 - How We Update OSP, Plus Major Updates To Our Sanctuary Capacity Resource!

Executive Director Mckenzee and Nonprofit Specialist Julia discuss what it means to us when we say that The Open Sanctuary Project is a living library. We talk about how and why we perform regular resource updates to address community feedback, integrate new developments in compassionate care and organizational strategies, and more. We also discuss major updates to our foundational resource on sanctuary capacity metrics. Why did we add governance as a capacity metric? How do participatory boards factor in? We hope this episode gives you greater clarity on our update protocols, as well as some new insights on sustainable governance! --- This Episode's Referenced Open Sanctuary Project Resources: Information Sourcing Considerations At The Open Sanctuary Project | The Open Sanctuary Project Determining Your Animal Sanctuary's Capacity For Responsible Care | The Open Sanctuary Project Animal Sanctuary Sustainability: Defining and Implementing Plans For Resiliency | The Open Sanctuary Project Succession Planning: A Necessary Component Of Responsible Animal Sanctuary Management | The Open Sanctuary Project Creating An Effective Set Of Contingency Plans For Your Animal Sanctuary | The Open Sanctuary Project The Open Sanctuary Project's Contingency Planning Workbook | The Open Sanctuary Project Nonprofit Board Basics For Animal Sanctuaries | The Open Sanctuary Project    --- You can learn more about our organization here!
