Pasadena Humane Society President and CEO Steve McNall To Retire

Steve McNall, Pasadena Humane Society and SPCA President and Chief Executive Officer, is retiring by the middle of 2016 after leading the independent nonprofit through a recent period of growth.

The Society announced McNall’s impending retirement Wednesday, and said it will be conducting a nationwide search for his replacement.

“We thank Steve for his tremendous contributions to the Pasadena Humane Society, and wish him the very best during his upcoming retirement,” said Ricky Whitman, PHS and SPCA Vice President of Community Relations.

McNall has been with the Society for 30 years. Several new features were added to the Society’s services during his watch, including the Animal Care Campus, the Neely Cat Center and the Critter House.

The Society’s board of directors has hired Morris and Berger to do a nationwide search for a replacement, working with a search committee composed of board members and leaders in the Pasadena area community.

Whitman said the ideal candidate must have an acute awareness of animal welfare, sheltering issues and has strong fundraising skills.
