The new ED must understand how important the volunteers are in this particular nonprofit. They support not only the animals, but the staff as well. Recognition and respect go a long way to making volunteers feel like they're valued. When that happens, they'll work twice as hard to help the animals they're charged with.

I have been involved in sheltering/rescue for nearly 30 years in volunteer and board/administrative capacities as well as learning "no kill" from Nathan Winograd when he was the executive director for and brought the TCSPCA into the "no kill" sheltering era.
When searching for the right fit in an ED it is a MUST to have the right search committee - not just the chosen puppets.

The animals cannot speak out for themselves. We have to be their voices!

Tompkins County deserves a director of our SPCA who takes the job seriously, who shows up for work, who loves animals, and is fair to hard-working staff and volunteers.

It is imperative that this search be as transparent as possible to the community. Too long have the shelter operations been held close to the vest. I hope the board is willing to engage a wide range of input from staff/volunteers and community members.

My wife says a fair director search is in order, which sounds right to me!

The TCSPCA needs a fresh younger outlook on shelter management. A person who loves all animals and not just “little dogs”. Also a person who will do anything they can to keep an adoptable animal from being euthanized. Just because a cat isn’t friendly or a dog is a bit aggressive doesn’t mean said animal needs to be killed. Those animals need to be worked with.
