Seeking New Board Members

           Stray Haven Humane Society and SPCA of Waverly, NY is looking to diversify our Board of Directors. Currently the Board of Directors are especially interested in seeking new recruits with experience related to finance (particularly those familiar with non-profit accounting), law, and veterinary science. All applicants with a passion to help the organization accomplish its mission will be considered; the board has multiple openings and devotion to the cause matters. The mission of your county shelter is to prevent cruelty or neglect, partner with law enforcement to enforce humane laws, educate the public regarding animal welfare, and generally provide resources for all companion, working, and wildlife animals within Tioga County.                         

          As the only no-kill animal shelter within Tioga County operating primarily through donations, board members are expected to contribute their experience, their time, and/or financially to allow for the progression of the organization. If you, or someone you believe would be an asset to Stray Haven, is interested in serving on the board of directors please submit a letter of intention and a resume to the President of our Board of Directors, Stan Edsall at Stan@StrayHavenSPCA.org or mail/deliver them to 194 Shepard Road, Waverly, NY, 14892.
