WENATCHEE — The Wenatchee Valley Humane Society (WVHS) has appointed Jane Provo as Interim Executive Director, following the departure of James Pumphrey.

Provo, a former member of the WVHS Board of Directors, brings extensive experience in nonprofit management and a strong commitment to animal welfare to her new role. She has stepped down from her board position to fully dedicate herself to the interim leadership responsibilities.

Patrick Davidson, President of the WVHS Board, expressed confidence in Provo's appointment, stating, "We are grateful to have Jane Provo stepping into the role of Interim Executive Director."

In her new capacity, Provo will manage the day-to-day operations of the humane society, collaborating with staff, volunteers, and community members to advance the organization's mission of improving the lives of both pets and people in the Wenatchee Valley area.

The WVHS Board has committed to conducting a search for a permanent Executive Director who aligns with the organization's dedication to animal welfare and its broader mission.

The leadership transition comes at a time when many animal welfare organizations face ongoing challenges in animal care and adoption services.
