About the panelists

Hilary Anne Hager has spent the last twenty years managing volunteers in animal welfare environments and currently serves as the Senior Director of Volunteer Engagement at The Humane Society of the United States. Engaging volunteers in meaningful work to make the world a more humane place is Hilary’s passion and life’s work. She teaches compassion fatigue workshops around the country to help provide members of the animal protection community the support and resources to maintain their own well-being while working in a challenging and emotionally-charged environment.

As Policy Director for Companion Animals at The Humane Society of the United States, Lindsay Hamrick works to support local, state and federal policies protecting pets and supporting the people who love them. She holds a M.S. in Animals & Public Policy from Tufts Veterinary School and was previously the New Hampshire State Director for HSUS, passing stronger animal cruelty laws at the state level. Prior to her role in advocacy, she spent a decade as Chief Operating Officer, overseeing operations at three of New Hampshire’s animal shelters. As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, Lindsay has deployed to assist victims of dogfighting and puppy mills and regularly volunteers at her local animal shelter. She is currently owned by three dogs, one disgruntled cat, three rescued cockfighting birds, three laying hens and, depending on the month, about 10,000 honeybees.
