The Humane Society of Delaware County’s board of directors is looking for candidates to serve on the organization’s governing board. The HSDC provides low-cost medical services, adoptions, and humane agent services to investigate allegations of cruelty or neglect of animals. Community programs and partnerships promote and support the human/animal bond.  

The HSDC’s board of directors is responsible for financial oversight, policy development, resource development, evaluating the performance of the executive director, and ensuring that the organization is addressing its mission of service. Board members are expected to participate on at least one board committee, attend key events, and participate in fundraising activities. 

The board typically meets 10 times annually at the shelter beginning at 6:30 pm on the 4th Wednesday of the month. Hybrid meetings with a virtual option remain available in 2025. 

The board is seeking a diverse mix of community members and adults of any age are encouraged to apply. Those interested in serving and providing board leadership for a dynamic nonprofit organization that serves a rapidly growing animal population should complete an application, available below.
