Being Thankful with a Time for Reflection
November 21, 2016Interview! Alana Yanez, Manager of HSUS Pets For Life Los Angeles
November 24, 2016“Everyone wants the same thing, to do right by the cats. There’s just a disagreement often about how we get there. But I thought we could all work together to get there.”
After her first career as a corporate finance and securities attorney, Suzanne took the road less travelled and became involved in the Charlottsville/Albemarle SPCA. As the executive director from 2005-2012, Suzanne gained priceless experience facing new challenges with a fresh perspective and ‘outside of the box’ thinking. These challenges taught her the importance of research and of recognizing potential resources.
In 2013, she became the executive director of the Petco Foundation, which partners with local animal welfare communities across the country. Suzanne and Stacy discuss the various organizations Petco works with, how each is prioritized, and what the evaluation process for grant funding entails.
