Founded in 1879, the Wisconsin Humane Society is Wisconsin’s oldest, largest, and most recognized animal welfare organization. WHS helped to pioneer the idea that every animal available for adoption in a shelter could be free of time limits, taking as long as needed to be adopted. WHS has also led the field in exploring the strength that can be gained from bringing separate organizations together.  WHS is now the primary animal welfare organization in five Wisconsin counties, serving one third of Wisconsin’s animals and families and dedicated to making a difference for animals and the people who love them. 

Anne serves on the board of directors of The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement and also serves on the board of directors of Shelter Animals Count, a national database initiative.  She was named to the “Women of Influence” list by the Milwaukee Business Journal in 2015.
