New Humane Society of Central Arizona (HSCAZ) Executive Director Sarah Hock at a meet and greet event held last night (Thursday, Sept. 23). The event was held to introduce her to HSCAZ staff and friends.
Sarah Hock, the Strawberry native recently selected as the new executive director of the Humane Society of Central Arizona (HSCAZ), met her staff, shelter volunteers and friends at a meet and greet held Thursday evening, Sept. 23.
The Payson High School graduate, who has a Master of Nonprofit studies from Arizona State University, briefly addressed attendees, conveying her excitement at the opportunity and pledging to help staff and volunteers make the shelter all that it can be. HSCAZ Board President Bill Enlund also spoke.
When she was a young girl, Hock frequently visited the shelter, telling her mother she wanted to own it one day. Enlund joked that she has now taken a step in that direction.
The reaction from several staff members following the event was enthusiastic.
The board is currently working on a scaled down version of the proposed new animal shelter behind the existing shelter on McLane Road.
Prior to completing her Masters, Hock was employed with the Arizona Animal Welfare League and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) of Phoenix over the past five years.
