The Humane Society of the United States, over the course of its 50-year existence, has become a trusted name in animal protection. The HSUS's reputation and legacy of accomplishment are the result of thousands of executives and staff members who have developed, shaped, or carried out the organization's mission to protect all animals.
In this section, we will introduce you to some of the people, past and present, who have made The HSUS what it is today. From co-founder Fred Myers, who shaped The HSUS's original agenda in 1954, to current president and CEO Paul G. Irwin, who continues to expand the scope of our work, we will detail the professional lives and accomplishments of the people who have transformed The HSUS from a small, struggling non-profit to the nation's largest animal-protection organization.
We will update this section regularly during 2004, our 50th anniversary year, so check back frequently for more profiles—and more insights into how The HSUS has evolved over the course of five decades.
