Humane Society CEO retiring, search is on for replacement
MENANDS, N.Y. » President and CEO of the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society Todd Cramer recently announced that he is leaving his post effective Sept. 27.
“It has been a true joy to support and lead the MHHS,” said Cramer in a news release. “When I look at my 20-year career in animal welfare, I am incredibly proud of both the progress that has been made in general and of the advances we’ve made at MHHS, both during my tenure and in the Society’s 132 years of service.”
During Cramer’s tenure, officials noted that MHHS moved into its new Animal Care Center, achieved a 93% Live-Release-Rate for animals in its care, increased revenues, developed more community programs and engaged in national and regional level collaborations.
“MHHS has been very well served by Todd Cramer during this recent period of transition and growth, and we are grateful for his leadership. We thank him for his service and contributions and wish him the very best in his future endeavors,” said Chair of the Board of Directors Cynthia LaFave in the release.
The Board of Directors noted that they will be conducting a national search for Cramer’s successor and, in partnership with the Senior Leadership Team, will lead the organization. Cramer will stay on while the search is underway.
“I have accomplished what I intended when I assumed the role of President & CEO, and now the time is right to turn the leadership over for the next leader to continue driving progress and success for the MHHS mission to enrich the lives of animals and the people who love them,” Cramer noted.
