The Association’s President & CEO encourages you to share these opportunities widely

Time sure does fly when you’re having fun! Having been in this field for well over 40 years now, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to me that animal welfare is an aging profession. But when I recently took a look at The Association’s Career Center, I am amazed at the number of high-profile senior leadership positions currently being advertised.  We are facing a significant period of leadership transition, as many executive leaders have their eyes on retirement and their boards face activation of succession plans.

We’ve highlighted the executive openings listed below in order to ensure these critical roles receive the visibility they deserve — and attract enthusiastic, qualified candidates ready to lead with impact.

If you’re considering your next step in executive leadership, this may be the moment. And if you’re preparing with an eye to the future, The Association’s learning opportunities and CAWA credentialing program can help demonstrate executive readiness and commitment to operational excellence.

Our profession’s continued advancement depends on strong leaders stepping forward. We hope you’ll share these opportunities widely.  And to my colleagues who are moving on to life’s other many adventures and opening up roles for emerging leaders, thank you and congratulations on a job well done.
