Podcast #46: Survivor Series #5 with Elaine Spencer, Director of Effingham Family Connection

In this episode, Stacy chats with Elaine Spencer and Melanie Gardner from T-Town TNR, an all-volunteer nonprofit dedicated to resolving the feline overpopulation crisis in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Since 2015, the organization has spay/neutered over 3,700 cats. Elaine is the group’s lead support for grant writing, and together, she and Melanie serves as the group’s IT consultants. Elaine and Melanie talk with Stacy about how they became involved with TNR, and with T-Town in particular, and they discuss the importance of data as it relates to getting grant funding and running an efficient organization. T-Town utilizes a free software program called AirTable to coordinate their spay/neuter appointments, track colonies, microchips, and equipment, and to track requests for assistance. The software updates in real-time and can be accessed in the field via cell phone, as well as by veterinary offices with which T-Town is connected. T-Town has seen an incredible improvement in efficiency and data collection now that they utilize AirTable, but the process of selecting a software package was a long and challenging one, as Elaine tells Stacy. Elaine encourages everyone to do their homework around software options and to reach out to her if they have questions about AirTable. To learn more, visit the T-Town TNR website or their Facebook page. You can also email Elaine directly to talk more about T-Town’s experiences with AirTable.
