The Humane Society of Northeast Georgia announced Monday the hiring of Allison Mayfield as their new Executive Director.
“First and foremost, I am a lover of animals,” says Mayfield. “I am excited to bring my experience in non-profit leadership to the Humane Society and at the same time be a part of a cause that I have passion for," Mayfield said in a press release. "I am a collaborator and look forward to building upon relationships that will add to the solid foundation that is already in
place.”
Mayfield comes to HSNEGA from the Brigade Boys & Girls Club in Wilmington, North Carolina. She served as their Chief Development Officer and was responsible for all resource development.
“Our search committee identified key skill sets the Humane Society needs in an executive,” said HSNEGA Board Chair Cindy Askounis. “Allison has those attributes and many more. Her experience in building teams, communications and developing partnerships is evident by her proven track records at other non-profits. She will be a great addition to the Humane Society team both internal and external.”
Mayfield also worked as the Executive Director of the Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club in Aiken, South
Carolina; Executive Director of Maia Moms, a transitional home for homeless single mothers in Charleston, South
Carolina; and Outreach Director for Seacoast Church in Charleston, South Carolina.
Mayfield has two adopted dogs, Piper and Penelope and they are all moving to Gainesville ahead of her first day on January 4, 2021.
