Can members attend monthly Board Meetings?

Yes, members may attend the regular scheduled meetings, if they choose. All the Board of Directors ask, call the Shelter Director 5 days prior to the meeting and let her know you will be attending. The reason for that, to make arrangements for a larger meeting area if needed. Also if members have ideas or questions that are of unusual status, those might need to be added to the agenda.

When and where are board meetings held?

Regular scheduled meetings are held the 3rd Tuesday of each month. The board and shelter director meet in the gray trailer beside the humane society, meetings begin at 6:00pm.
