LEWISTON — The Greater Androscoggin Humane Society board of directors has named Katie Lisnik, formerly of Barre, Vt., as its new executive director; she began her new position Nov. 15 and has relocated to Auburn. Lisnik succeeds Steven Dostie, who retired earlier this summer after 38 years of service.
Lisnik is a Maine-native and brings 20 years’ experience serving pets and their owners, in a variety of capacities, as well as extensive management experience in non-profit animal welfare. She most recently served as the director of companionanimal public policy at the Humane Society of the United States. Prior to that, Lisnik held other positions at the HSUS, including directing its cat-related programming, and as the Maine state director. Additional work experience includes program management at an animal shelter in Southern Maine, as an animal control officer, and hands-on animal care at a veterinary/boarding clinic and southern maine shelter, among other roles.
Lisnik was selected for the executive director position through a competitive search process that included both local and national applicants.
“I am excited and proud to lead this dynamic organization as we continue to expand our reach into and beyond the greater Lewiston/Auburn community,” she said, ” to help even more animals in need and make a positive impact on the pets and people who we serve.”
