Board of Directors

“I’m proud to be part of a Board that gives Animal Control Officers a seat at the table and helps shape the future of animal welfare. Serving on the NACA Board has been a highlight of my career and an opportunity to support a profession that deserves to be celebrated and recognized for the work it does every day. Animals need a voice, but so do the people on the front lines—those committed to their communities, willing to do the work no one else wants to do, and who show up every day without asking for anything in return.”

“In animal control work, you often hear that we as animal welfare professionals are “the voice for the voiceless” and as the National Animal Care & Control Association it is our responsibility to give voice to the people doing this work to ensure they have the tools and respect they need and deserve to be that voice so many pets and people need.”

“It is truly an honor to be voted onto the board by our members. The National Animal Care & Control Association (NACA) is the only nationwide organization that focuses on supporting the Animal Control Officer with the resources to improve their profession. NACA is respected by local and state governments across this country as “The Experts” in animal care and control and with that respect comes the ability to support ACOs in a way that no other organization can.”

“We don’t have to agree on philosophy to agree on outcomes. When agencies and their partners share the work — cases, capacity, calls for service — public safety and live outcomes both go up.”

“Animal services professionals deserve a seat at the table in every community conversation. Serving on the NACA Board allows us to advocate for our profession, ensuring that the people doing this critical work have the respect, resources, and support they deserve.”

“I’m truly honored to serve on the NACA Board of Directors alongside such passionate and dedicated professionals. Together, we’re working to strengthen and elevate the field of animal care and control—ensuring the people who do this vital work have the tools, respect, and support they deserve. It’s inspiring to collaborate with others who share the same commitment to protecting both animals and communities, and to help shape a future where our profession continues to grow in unity, respect, and impact.”

“I am so grateful for this opportunity to work in a leadership role for an organization that I first started learning from almost twenty years ago with NACA ACO I! Animal services has made so much progress in that time, and I would love the chance to continue to improve the national standards of care and unity within our industry alongside other passionate leaders and animal care and control professionals.“
