Meet the
Board of Directors

Introductions are important.

Jacqueline F., President, Board Member
A passion for animals goes back to Jacqui's early years. In fact, she was told that she had a late start in speaking and the doctor had recommended getting a dog or cat to help. She's been told she hasn't stopped speaking since. 😂
Today Jacqui and her husband Tim have 2 Old English Sheepdogs (OES) that were adopted through OES rescue groups as well as 2 adopted cats. Grown and living on their own are 2 sons and a daughter. The most recent excitement in their lives is that they have just become grandparents for the first time.
Jacqui grew up and lived in the Valley area of Syracuse and is a graduate of Corcoran High School. She received her Bachelor of Science degree from Hartwick College in Oneonta, NY. Having taken an early retirement from her position in the computer software industry, She volunteered with a number of local shelters before finally settling in at AAGS. It wasn't long before she was named the Chairperson for the LEGUP Program as well as the Volunteer Committee Coordinator. 2018-2020, Jacqui also served as the Vice President of AAGS.

Donna C., Treasurer, Board Member and Founding Member
Donna became the second President of AAGS in 2012, acting in that capacity for 8 years. She has also been the Treasurer of the organization since its inception.
Prior to her AAGS involvement, Donna and her husband Pat both served on the board of directors of the Central New York Cat Coalition. They have since retired from active rescue to care for their unadoptable kitties.
