Conway Area Humane Society has a new Executive Director. Linda Huebner will begin part time at CAHS on February 1, 2007 and full-time on March 1, 2007.

Huebner leaves her current post as the Regional Program Manager for the New England Regional Office of The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), the country’s largest animal protection organization. Her work with HSUS involved a wide variety of issues affecting companion animals, wildlife and farm animals.

She also holds a B.S. in Animal Science from Cook College, Rutgers University, where she spent three years assisting a doctoral candidate with an equine nutrition research project. She has been riding horses for 30 years, has worked in a veterinary hospital, and has volunteered at a spay/neuter clinic and various animal shelters, as well as on the Tufts Pet Loss Hotline.

“I am very excited to be working with such an enthusiastic, committed group of people as the staff, board of directors and volunteers of the Conway Area Humane Society,” said Huebner, “together we can accomplish a lot for the animals of the Mt. Washington Valley.”

“Conway Area Humane Society is excited to welcome Linda to our organization”, said Board President Lisa Webster. “She brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to her new position, and the Board and staff look forward to working with her to further the mission of the CAHS."

Huebner is relocating to the Mt. Washington Valley from Vermont with her partner, Ernie, and her adopted shelter dog, Wesley.
