Humane Society of Henderson County
Board of Directors
Member Requirements


The Humane Society of Henderson County (HSHC) is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization founded in 1965. The HSHC is 100 percent funded by donations, grants and fees for services. We receive no government funding for the HSHC mission and programs.  The HSHC does have a contract with the City and County governments of Henderson County solely for animal control services.

Because we are committed to not killing healthy or reversibly ill or injured cats and dogs, we are in a growth and public awareness phase, and are therefore considered a "working board" (i.e., very involved in the shelter's operational excellence, fundraising, community awareness, volunteerism, budget management and strategic planning).

We seek talented and dedicated people who are willing to help us take the shelter and the community to the next phase of animal welfare.

If you are interested in applying for board membership, please review these basic requirements. You can apply for a Board position by completing the Membership Application.  Please mail your completed application to the HSHC shelter (attention Kendra Gallagher-Strawn) or email to kgallagher@hshcky.org
