Our Board of Directors

MHS seeks qualified individuals to serve as At-Large Members of the Board of Directors. Candidates should demonstrate a strong commitment to the mission of MHS and possess professional experience or expertise relevant to effective nonprofit governance.

​

Ideal candidates will have background knowledge or professional qualifications in one or more of the following areas: nonprofit governance, accounting, finance or audit, legal or regulatory compliance, marketing and communications, fundraising and development, strategic planning, or veterinary best practices.

​

Board candidates are expected to exercise independent judgment, actively participate in board and committee meetings, and contribute to informed decision-making. Directors are responsible for providing strategic leadership, financial oversight, and governance in support of the organization’s mission and long-term sustainability.

​

All board members must uphold the fiduciary duties of care, loyalty, and obedience, acting in good faith, in the best interests of the organization, and in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and governing documents.

​

Board members also serve as ambassadors of MHS, supporting the Executive Director and promoting the organization’s mission and values within the community. While MHS is headquartered in Meriden, Connecticut, board members may fulfill their responsibilities remotely.
