Humane Society Director To Retire
Feb. 5, 2015
Mike Cherry, executive director of the Cherryland Humane Society (CHS) in Traverse City for the last 26 years, has announced his retirement effective March 31.
According to CHS board president Dr. Dave Burke, the adoption rate when Cherry started was under 25 percent; it is now above 80 percent. Burke also credited the staff and dedicated volunteers for the organization's success under Cherry's direction and a facility that ensures the health of its dogs and cats.
The CHS board of directors has formed a committee to find a replacement and has engaged the services of NorthSky Nonprofit Network to assist with the search process. The board is also planning a public retirement celebration to celebrate Cherry's leadership.
