I had pretty open discussions. And when I saw certain strengths in certain areas, I would see if I could compliment that with some extra attention. I believed in staff training and exposure, whether it be travel just to see the zoos, travel with the chances to move animals from zoo to zoo, the symposiums, the meetings. I tried to maximize the number of people going to conferences because it’s continuing education. I think it’s one of the most important things. If you don’t get out and see what other people are doing, because yes true, we have social media now, which so much is out on it. But you know, I took every single newsletter that came and I had a routing slip and I routed it through the zoo. Now so many of tgem are electronic and it’s not as easy to remember to get online ‘cos you’d spend all your time.
