Show Notes

In Episode 204, I converse with Rachel Herman, Executive Director of Paws NY. She has worked in the nonprofit sector for 15 years, and prior to transitioning to PAWS NY full-time in January 2012, she worked in Development at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).

During her time at PAWS NY,  Rachel has been named “New Yorker of the Week” by NY1, “Holiday Hero” by The New York Times, “40 Under 40 Rising Stars in the Nonprofit World” by NYN Media, and most recently, “Young Social Impact Hero” by Thrive Global. Rachel received her B.A. in Political Science with a minor in Crime and Justice from the University of Michigan and her Master of Public Administration from NYU’s Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service.

She  lives in Brooklyn with her husband, two young daughters, and their cat Milo. Rachel’s five-year old daughter is already excited to work for PAWS when she grows up, and both girls clearly love cats as much as their mom.

We speak about hot spots in Ann Arbor, physical care for pets, resiliency, surrender protection, preemptive moves on and off the board, lessons on non-profit management, the upcoming Spring Benefit on May 23, 2022 and more.
