How do institutions continue to maintain a strong culture during this current time and into our “new tomorrow”? Dr. Jackie Ogden explored this important topic with an audience of over 60 in the fourth installment of our Community Conversations webinar series.
In this interview, Anuj Gupta, General Manager of the historic Reading Terminal Market and “change agent” in Philadelphia’s hospitality and tourism industries, shares his observations and the relevancy of his experience to the zoo and aquarium field.
Last week we hosted our first Crisis Community Conversation. “You’re Not Alone”, led by Dr. Jackie Ogden & Kathy Wagner, focused on finding, cultivating, & working your support network to get you through what’s ahead. Read on to learn takeaways from this powerful discussion.
Our community is filled with caring leaders. This note is my encouragement to make yourself vulnerable, to show others that you care. Read on to learn my advice during this difficult, uncertain time, when none of us has a roadmap, even if we’ve been through previous crises.
The past week has been a challenge for all of us. Zoos and aquariums must continue to live up to their missions and find new ways to leverage their strengths towards the service of our communities. Here are a few ideas on what zoos can do right now.
We’d like to share the ZA video that was presented at the Pathways Africa 2020 conference and training in which Kathy Wagner discusses her personal pathway to leadership and shares valuable leadership lessons.
We returned from the AZA Directors’ Policy Conference with much to mull over, having gathered with zoo and aquarium leadership to learn, debate, and brainstorm current issues affecting our (and broader) professions (and communities). What were the common themes?
We think big with new leaders & chart a course towards greater mission impact. It’s an exciting time for them to engage their teams & board, listen to their communities, & cultivate relationships. Take a look at the accomplishments of new Presidents, CEOs, & Directors from Toronto to L.A. & Denver to Indianapolis.
Dr. Jackie Ogden wrote this article after reflecting upon a video clip of recommended advice that she provided to emerging women leaders five years ago. How had she “put her money where her mouth was” since then? Had she followed her own advice and put it into action to further her career and impact?
Happy New Year! From conservation and animal welfare, to raising revenue and public funding, to global learnings, read what resonated most with our readers in 2019 and let us know what you’d like to learn more about in 2020.
The importance of human diversity to organizational health & vibrancy and the relationship to biodiversity & ecosystem health & vitality.
Where are we culturally and how can you improve your organization’s culture?
Canopy Strategic Partners and SSA Group announce a new partnership: a research project to identify opportunities and potential barriers to leadership advancement within zoos and aquariums accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA).
The more accessible our institutions and the healthier our staff, the better we’re able to reach our audiences and achieve our missions.
