Tracy Poston, strategist, midwest region

My animal welfare career started in 2008, when I found my passion for helping homeless pets. My dedication to those pets grew over the years as I expanded my knowledge and skills. For the past seven years, I served as an Executive Director in Southeast Missouri. I took a previously open-admission shelter to no-kill and completed a capital campaign to build a much-needed new building. I enjoy reading and family time with my kids and two beautiful granddaughters. I have three amazing dogs and a husband of 30 years. I am excited for this next chapter in saving lives!
