Ignacia Uribe on some tough decisions nonprofit leaders have to make
Manage episode 414109129 series 3466559
Short but sweet episode this week from Ignacia, author of a recently released book, CEO of a leading organisation in Latin America and mother to two small kids. We're delighted that Ignacia took time out to talk to us about her experiences right across her contributions for animals.
We chat about Fundacion veg and their campaigns in both diet change and animal welfare as well as the decision for Ignacia to scale down her organisation and what led to this decision. We talk about the importance of country context in campaigning and the challenges when working in this field across Latin America.
We ran into a whole host of technical difficulties during this episode with unstable connections so please bear with us during the chat and why not head to youtube to see if you can spot the point at which an entire day passes before we resume filming for the remainder of the episode.

- Connect For Animals newsletter
- @peter_singer has a very interesting Instagram account
- @seb.alex and @ryujichua, both have a very unique way to communicate and they speak different languages, which I think it's crucial to get to more people and other cultures where veganism is not that mainstream yet
How can people get more involved in your work? Are you hiring, do you need volunteers and where can people find you?
We don’t have volunteers all year round, but we do calls when we need them, so stay tuned to our social media accounts. We plan to hire a COO this year, so I’d have more time to do lobbying and PR which I think I'm better at, we haven’t published it yet but am very excited for this role.
