This group of dedicated community members stepped up to join the reformed MCAS Community Advisory Committee, navigating the first year of a brand-new framework for engaging with Animal Services. Previous CAC bodies faced historical challenges following organizational transitions, and frustrations with opportunities for meaningful contribution. However, the new CAC members showed up to every meeting to build a renewed foundation of mutual trust with Animal Services and the County. They defined core values, developed a comprehensive work plan and bylaws, and established a membership agreement—all done selflessly to pave the way for future committees. Whether in the pouring rain of a Portland winter or a warm summer evening, they showed up to make a difference for the animals at the shelter and in the community, and we are deeply grateful for their time and vision.
