Ann Barrett
Secretary
I have provided management services to non-profit associations of industries from medical equipment to geospatial technology since 1992 including the coordination of their conventions that range in size from 150 to 1,000 people. I am on the HSPC Fundraising committee and help coordinate HSPC events. I so enjoy seeing how much the community appreciates being involved in raising awareness and funds for the wonderful pets we work to find homes for.
My husband and I have adopted three wonderful hound dogs from the Humane Society of Portage County. We are also involved in Basset Buddies Rescue and currently live with four cats and two dogs.
Jared Redfield
I am the attorney at Redfield Law Offices LLC. As you can see, one of my specialties is domestic disputes. Here, two of our Belgian Malinois, Jude and Jaina, are complaining about Koa (our third Mal) getting more bones than they do. While I have been known to encourage mediation, in this case I am about to tell them to settle it among themselves — much cheaper that way. None of them are inclined to fight about it, so I feel that is a fair resolution.
In addition to just recently becoming a board member of the HSPC, I am the Chair of the Advisory Committee for the Salvation Army Hope Center here in Stevens Point. I have worked with lots of terrific fundraisers in this role and we have greatly increased the total giving to our Red Kettle Campaign in the past few years. I hope we can do the same at HSPC!
