Freeport, Bahamas - The Humane Society of Grand Bahama's Annual General Meeting was held Monday April 28th at Red Beard's Pub. 25 people attended which is the best turnout for this meeting in quite some time.
Several board members regrettably had to vacate their positions due to work or family considerations and we are grateful for their service and support. Tiffany Dennison had served as a director since 2005, and as President from 2010-2012. She has also been the HSGB's legal counsel all those years and while not serving on the actual board of directors this year, she will remain a supporter and legal counsel as needed. Michelle Lovatt has served since 2011 and has also been one of our most amazing volunteers and foster moms. We wish her and her family all the best as they move back to the U.S. Siobhan Antoni-Bates and Letitia Parker both have exciting new chapters coming up in their work and personal lives; while unable to continue as board members, they will still volunteer and support our organization.
The new Board of Directors is as follows:
President Joseph Darville
V. Pres. Brian Botham
Secretary Susan Krupica
Treasurer Dr. Clarence Green
Returning Directors:
Erika Gates
Jill Cooper
Gloria McGlone
Nancie Pollard
Penny Ettinger
New Directors:
Bev Dobinson (Fundraising Chair)
Lisa Pakosh (Newsletter)
Ana-Alicia Carroll
Kelley Adams
Debbie Botham
In addition to the Board of Directors, we were gratified to have a number of attendees volunteer to serve on committees. Doreen Jamieson volunteered to Chair our Education Committee, with the assistance of Sharie Benoit and Susan Krupica. Kathy Michalek will head our Membership Committee. And our Fundraising Committee will include Caraline Holding, Penny Ettinger, Kelley Adams, Lisa Pakosh, Jennifer Adams, Debbie Botham, Ana-Alicia Carroll, Nancie Pollard and Penny Richards.
We're looking forward to a great year with many fun events, and much success with all our projects including spay/neuter, education and community outreach.
