Board of Directors

“It is really refreshing to work with such a fantastic group of animal welfare professionals that have years of experience and share the same goal- the opportunity to be a voice for Animal Control Officers and animal welfare workers across the nation.”

“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.”

“NACA has collected some of the most influential, impactful board members in animal control and with it, I feel we are truly making a difference in the lives of animal control officers every day. Only through our continued collaborative and innovative efforts will we truly unlock the potential of every animal control officer in this country. And I’m really honored to be along for the journey.”

Alexis believes that animal control officers serve a vital role in our communities beyond the antiquated “Dog Catcher” portrayal and that being on the NACA Board gives her an opportunity to use her animal welfare leadership and communication skills to share an Accurate representation of the modern Animal Officer more broadly with the people we serve.

NACA’s role within our industry is to advocate for industry professionals. That advocacy comes in many forms. Whether it is training your looking for or maybe you are experiencing a challenge within your shelter and are looking for someone to talk through things with. NACA is here for you and the work you do for our community. If we can be a resource for you, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
