Nevada Humane Society is proud to announce Kiska Icard as the new Chief Executive Officer. She is an experienced animal welfare professional with over 20 years of experience leading Bay Area non-profit organizations.
She has proven expertise, demonstrated ability of fundraising, and has a desire to be innovative, progressive, and collaborative. Her past roles include Executive Director at Sonoma Humane Society and Director of Programs at the San Francisco SPCA.
“Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working under and with the founders and visionaries of the no-kill movement. I’ve worked in San Francisco’s inner city and Sonoma’s vast agriculture community. While communities vary, the common element that I’ve found in fulfilling our critical mission is that we are all helping people in order to help animals,” said Icard. “For nearly a decade I’ve watched how you have created a safe-haven for all animals in Northern Nevada. I am honored to continue to build upon the strong lifesaving framework that you have already achieved and take Nevada Humane Society into the future towards a lifesaving state.”
“After a long, thorough, nationwide search, we are thrilled and feel very fortunate to have found such an incredible person as Kiska to lead our organization,” said Tierra Bonaldi, President of Nevada Humane Society’s Board of Directors. “She is not only extremely experienced, but smart, thoughtful, passionate and enthusiastic and we are confident she will work with the entire community to ensure northern Nevada is the safest place for homeless pets and continue to elevate Nevada Humane Society to be the model shelter it is recognized for nationwide.”
Shyanne Schull, Director for Washoe County Regional Animal Services, says, “I speak for all of us at Washoe County Regional Animal Services when I say that we are excited to welcome Kiska aboard as the leader at Nevada Humane Society. As our partner, I am excited to see what endeavors that our two organizations can accomplish for our community.”
