Executive Director Mckenzee Griffler and Nonprofit Specialist Julia discuss an essential metric for all sanctuaries to consider regularly: capacity. In this episode, we discuss many elements that play a role in determining an organization’s capacity, including spatial, quarantine, personnel, financial, regulatory, and emergency response capacity. We talk about how the interplay between these elements can flex and change constantly, which is why it is so important to involve every member of your organization in the discussion of capacity regularly. This is the first episode of a series of conversations about this critical topic, so stay tuned! ---
