I have more than 34 years of executive experience in the nonprofit animal protection field, from organizational startup to program development and project management. I drafted and lobbied for the successful passage of state animal protection legislation. I managed our evacuation and disaster relief response during Hurricane Katrina and served as national organizational spokesperson for the agency during the aftermath. I have helped develop and implement multiple programs which have impacted the lives of thousands of animals across the state. The Humane Society of Louisiana is a licensed detective agency, specializing in cruelty investigation. We also work to expand the state's animal protection infrastructure to expand services for animals in need. We operate a variety of programs, including the TransPUPtation program to rescue shelter animals and transport them to loving homes up north. We aid animals in rural communities without shelters or rescue programs. We promote habitat preservation for wildlife, and we promote the health, humane and environmental benefits of a vegan diet.Specialties: Public Relations/Marketing, Special Events Management, Volunteer Management, Program and Policy Development, Advocacy & Legislation, Donor Development, Copy Writing
