February 8, 2018 at 6:51 p.m.
By Staff Report-
A search is underway for her replacement, according to a news release from AWL.
“We have had an unbelievable 10 years in turning this shelter around into the no-kill organization that is thriving today. I have been so gratified at the public acceptance of our positive changes and the new building that is going to be appearing as a wonderful sanctuary for our animals very soon,” McCammon stated.
She has notified the board of directors of her retirement.
“Although I have enjoyed the challenges and the rewards of helping people and pets at our wonderful shelter, there are some health issues and also the fact that my family has been deprived of so much while I have been working here. It is only fair to give them back some of that lost time.” she said.

“I will miss everyone at the shelter, but I plan to stay involved as much as possible,” she said. “It is very important to find the right person for this job. My wonderful staff deserves someone who will continue with all the improvements we have, and continue, to make.”
For that reason, McCammon asks anyone who might consider applying for this position to please send a resume to Woody Zimmerman, board president, AWL.
“The best candidate will have a degree, work experience in a not-for-profit organization, plus work experience in an animal shelter environment, and believe in a ‘no-kill’ approach to animal shelters,” McCammon said.
“I love this community. The people here have been wonderful and very supportive of the difficult job it is to run such an enterprise as the Animal Welfare League. I appreciate everyone who has pitched in and helped us along the way. And if you would like to give me a going-away gift, we still need just a bit more funding toward our beautiful new building. Rather than sending me a personal gift, please give it on behalf of the animals,” she said.
