By Barbara Fairbanks, Board Chair
The HSNTX Board of Directors voted unanimously at the May 6, 2010 board meeting to name Mark Salazar as the Executive Director for the HSNTX. Mark has served as the Director of Operations since February 2, 2010, and has worked diligently to learn the details of our shelter operation, understand what parts were working well, and affect change in certain areas to improve the service our shelter provides for the communities we serve.
Mark’s extensive experience in animal control/animal sheltering and city government was one of the reasons he was chosen by the Board to serve as Director of Operations after an extensive, nation-wide search for new leadership.
However, in the three months Mark has served as the Director of Operations, the Board has seen the qualities in Mark that it believes are essential for the top leadership of the HSNTX. Compassion for animals and for people, strong vision for the future, professionalism, and the ability to interact effectively with all types of people are among the qualities the Board has seen in Mark. We believe he will be an excellent face and voice of the organization.
The behind-the-scenes work that Mark, the staff, the board, and volunteers have been doing will gradually become more evident as the HSNTX moves forward to become the progressive and user-friendly organization the communities we serve want and deserve. If you haven’t already met Mark, look for him at our upcoming Mutt Strutt and Mutt Mania events and say hello. If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to meet his wonderful family as well!
