What the Houston Zoo Can Teach Us About Workplace Culture

[upbeat music] Welcome to the Development Download podcast from the Association of Fundraising Professionals Greater Houston Chapter.

On this podcast, we have connected, candid, and fun conversations about all things fundraising.

I'm your host, Sarah Brown.

Let's get into it.

[upbeat music] In this episode of the Development Download, we've got a full house with the Houston Zoo.

We're joined by Audra Jesue-Dawson, vice president of philanthropy and membership, Lisa Marie Avendaño, chief operating officer, and Kirsten Ufer, senior creative director.

Together, we explore how the zoo has cultivated a warm, friendly workplace culture and why that culture matters.

We discuss the role leadership plays in fostering connection and practical ways organizations of any size can build more camaraderie among staff.

Join us just ahead.
