Email sent to members of the Mayor's Alliance for Animals -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: Alliance Participating Organizations From: Jane Hoffman Date: June 19, 2003 Re: CACC Acting Director =========================================================== I am pleased to inform you that the Board of Directors of the CACC has hired Ed Boks, Executive Director of Maricopa County Arizona Animal Care and Control as the new Acting Executive Director of the CACC for the next 6 month on a part time basis. Ed has 20 years of experience in shelter management having started as a kennel worker and moved up to his current position as Executive Director. From all reports, he should bring a fresh new critical eye to all aspects of the CACC. He is committed to the no-kill ideal having been instrumental in securing a Maddie's Fund grant for Maricopa County and is also a regular speaker at the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary No More Homeless Pets Conferences. Please check out the Maricopa County Animal Care and Control and the No More Homeless Pets Conference web sites if you have not already done so. Although I think we would all have loved to have seen a long term contract I think this is an excellent beginning - in six months I am confident that Ed will have fallen in love with New York City and become so engaged in making the CACC a first rate shelter he will re-up for the long term! We have already made considerable progress here in NYC with the creation of the Alliance, the completion of the Maddie's Fund grant application by the Alliance and the VMA NYC and the development of a better working relationship with the CACC. With Ed's input I am hopeful we will achieve our mission of creating a no kill city. I am looking forward to working with him. ADOPT A LITTLE NEW YORKER TODAY !!!
