President – Lori is a Data Link Engineer at Collins Aerospace and an active volunteer, foster caregiver, and advocate for animals in need. Originally from North Dakota, Lori has called Iowa home for more than 30 years. She has fostered many dogs and works to help dogs from southern shelters and rescues find opportunities with northern rescue organizations when space is available. She actively advocates for these dogs and helps facilitate connections that can give them a path to safety and, ultimately, forever homes.
Lori is also actively involved in Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs and has trapped numerous feral cats to help reduce the number of homeless cats in the community. Two of the feral cats she trapped ultimately found their forever home with her.
In addition to her animal welfare work, Lori is active in her local church, where she uses her technical skills to help with livestreaming services.
