For the following fifty years, Nashua's animal welfare efforts were managed from a variety of locations, including the home of Jennie's niece, Marion S. Draper. Finally, in 1979, the existing facility was erected at 24 Ferry Road. The Humane Society for Greater Nashua is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees. Trustees are chosen by the nominating committee and elected by the Board. Decisions are based on an individual's skills, experience, and dedication to the organization's mission.
Trustees serve a minimum of two years.
The Trustees recruit, hire and manage the organization's Chief Executive Officer, the Executive Director. The Humane Society for Greater Nashua relies heavily on Volunteers to round out its suite of services and programs to extend maximum benefit to the community. This service area has a combined population of over 190,000 people. Since the Humane Society for Greater Nashua receives no city, state or federal government funding, nothing from United Way, and no funds from national animal organizations, we are fully dependent on donations, proceeds from fund raisers and sale of services, bequests, and foundation grants to maintain our operation, underwrite our numerous programs and services, and sustain our presence in Greater Nashua. We care for thousands of domestic and wild animals annually.
