The board of directors of the Animal Care Trust last week announced the hiring of a new executive director for McKamey Animal Center: Jamie Lampman. Lampman most recently was the director of the Ingram County Animal Control and Shelter in Mason, Mich. A member of several-animal related organizations, she brings over 25 years of experience to the position.
A national search to replace recently departed director Karen Walsh resulted in several interviews. Lampman was selected by a committee of board members and approved by the entire board as the next director.
McKamey Animal Center opened in 2008, and has seen more than 40,000 animals come through its doors. Through aggressive spay and neuter programs and active outreach, the Center finished 2013 with a live release rate of over 72 pecent, which is well above the national average.
Lampman will begin in early February and manage a staff of over 40 workers and more than 100 animal care volunteers.
