Building a strong animal welfare culture is not just about procedures—it’s about people, values, and leadership. In this engaging session, Dr. Kayla Williams of American Foods Group and Dr. Kurt Vogel of the Humane Handling Institute will explore what it takes to cultivate and sustain a workplace culture where animal welfare is a shared priority. Drawing on real-world experience and insights from the legal and academic spaces, they will discuss practical strategies for inspiring teams, aligning operations with ethical standards, and creating environments where everyone—from the front line to management—feels empowered to do what’s right for the animals in their care. Whether you're just starting on this journey or looking to strengthen existing efforts, this session will offer valuable tools and perspectives to elevate your organization’s commitment to animal welfare.
