The complexities of running a non-profit often stretch the resources and capabilities the MCHA staff and volunteers. Because of the importance of our work and the dedication of our people it is crucial that we gather the best information to make informed and empowered decisions. Being able to call on members of the professional public and long-term supporters helps the MCHA board and staff to achieve our animal welfare goals. We are grateful to many individuals who donate their time and expertise to the MCHA. Without the talents and wisdom that they provide we would not be the strong and forward-thinking organization we are today.

Our Advisory Board represents individuals who consistently come to the aid of the MCHA either with time, advice or actual hands-on assistance with issues facing the board of directors. We sincerely thank them for their contributions to the MCHA.
