JUNEAU ANIMAL RESCUE IS CURRENTLY SEEKING NEW BOARD MEMBERS!
(See application below)
MEET THE BOARD MEMBERS:
Aurora Hauke Board president I believe that every animal deserves a happy healthy life in a safe and nurturing home. Juneau Animal Rescue makes that happen and it warms my heart to be able to help by serving on the board. |
Liz Dodd board vice president I joined the board in 2023, JAR's 60th year of caring for Juneau's animals and finding them permanent shelter in our homes and hearts. I am beyond excited to be working with the board, staff, and community to build a new shelter facility that will vastly improve the lives of the animals in JAR's care and expand essential services for local pet owners. |
Mari Meiners board secretary I’ve lived in Juneau since 1994 and have served on the Board as Treasurer since 2018. I love animals of all kinds. I joined the Board so I could serve the community and promote the health and welfare of Juneau’s pet population. |
Janet McCallister board treasurer I joined the Juneau Animal Rescue Board in November 2018, hoping to make a difference in the lives of companion animals in Juneau. What I have gained in return is beyond measure. If you want an opportunity to stretch your boundaries, consider joining our board. You will expand your community connections, learn about non-profit governance, and work with an amazing organization. |
Kayin Anderson MEMBER AT LARGE Juneau is fortunate to have such kindhearted staff at JAR. Caring for animals has always been a part of my life. It makes me pleased to join an organization that is so dedicated to the care of our furry (and feathered) friends. It is my hope that we can continue to provide a safe space for animals for years and years to come. |
Kaley Hoyle MEMBER AT LARGE Kaley has just joined our Board of Directors. More information on Kaley to come very soon! |
Jodi Neil Member At large I am honored to join the board of directors at JAR and excited to begin a new journey of giving back to the animals of Juneau in a new and greater capacity. Juneau is so lucky to have a wonderful animal rescue organization in JAR, and I look forward to working alongside these amazing folks. |
Kevin Ritchie MEMBER AT LARGE I moved to Juneau in 1977 to work for the City and Borough of Juneau as an Assistant City Manager and later City Manager until 1992. I believe that how a community treats its animals is a measure of its compassion. |
Jeanette St. George MEMBER AT LARGE Jeanette has adopted many pets through JAR; she is pictured with Roo, her 7th JAR alumni! Jeanette frequently uses her artisic talents for advertising shelter events and fundraising for Juneau Animal Rescue. |
Meredith Trainor MEMBER AT LARGE Meredith Trainor joined the Juneau Animal Rescue board in 2023 as a way to pay forward all the compassionate support, excellent advice, and wisdom that fellow executive directors, other nonprofit leaders, and community members provided to her as she set down roots in Juneau and Southeast, and to help advocate for the continued protection and well-being of some of her favorite non-wild Alaskan critters. |
Teresa Young MEMBER AT LARGE Juneau Animal Rescue has always had a special place in my heart. As a board member, I feel honored to be a part of the solution of providing animals safe shelter, assisting them in finding loving homes, in addition to giving our community helpful services. |
