About us

Board of Second Chance

Second Chance Humane Society is governed by a dedicated volunteer board of directors that is focused on mission achievement and fiscal responsibility. The board of directors oversees the management team of Second Chance Humane Society and ensures that operational objectives are clearly defined and met.

President

Chaucey Edwards

Born and raised in rural Nebraska, animals have always been a huge part of Chaucey’s life. From horses to kittens and everything in-between, being around animals from a young age drives her passion for helping animals and for promoting the unconditional love we share with them.
Vice President

Heather Cammisa

Heather was recently voted to serve as Vice President of the board for SCHS given her twenty-five years of experience in mission impact, with more than a dozen of those years as the chief executive of two non-profit organizations. A land owner in Colorado since 2011, she and her husband purchased their home on the West Slope in 2017 after falling in love with the natural beauty and friendly people.
Secretary/Treasurer

Kevin McNeill

Kevin McNeill re-joins the SCHS Board of Directors, having served previously from 2009 until 2012. He loves animals, however, given his allergies to them he has found a different way of helping them in his involvement with SCHS. He has been involved in the annual fundraising events for SCHS, soliciting for goods to be auctioned, managing the auction, helping setup and teardown, as emcee and as auctioneer.
Cindy-Ott Jones

Cindy Ott-Jones joined the SCHS Board of Directors in 2018. She retired to the Ridgway area in 2017 after working 37 years for the National Park Service, living coast to coast, working her way up the system from a seasonal park ranger to a park manager.
Emeritus Member

Ashley Bradley

Ashley has a long history of helping those in need, with a particular soft spot for animals, which often times rely upon human kindness for their survival. This passion started at an early age when Ashley found a badly neglected and abused dog cowering under a picnic table. The dog touched her heart in a profound way and, after much work getting him to trust her intentions, became a long time loving member of her family well into her college years.
Executive Director

Kelly Goodin

Kelly has been working in the non-profit field for over 20 years. Through her work with Second Chance Humane Society Kelly combines her passion for animals with that of making a positive difference in the lives of others. With Masters degrees in Sport Psychology and in Social Work, Kelly's work has always focused on supporting individuals, groups and nonprofit's in reaching their true potential.
