MEET OUR
2024 BOARD OF DIRECTORS!
3 Programs Revamped at Annual Meeting.
On March 11, 2024, we held our annual Board of Directors meeting (Ruidoso Library), during which we approved revised by-laws, and defined duties necessary to operate each of our low-cost spay-neuter, pet food bank, and rescue transport programs. Ron Hannan, treasurer, diagrammed all elements, and duties were assigned to board members, who are all local, hands on, and passionate about improving the quality of life for companion animals in New Mexico, and primarily, in Lincoln and Otero counties. It's wonderful having an all local, hands on Board of Directors, and we're looking for new committee members to help grow our impact and service areas! Contact us at AnimalVillageNM@gmail.com, to offer fundraising, grant writing, shoe drive collection and bagging, registration help at events, event planning,
and more. If YOU have a talent, we can use your help for animals in need! Email us at AnimalVillageNM.org to find out how you can help!
MEET THE DIRECTORS DESIGNING OUR FUTURE!
Stay Tuned for Update!
