I am sad to see her leave SWAN but I know that she is following her passion. I am glad she has that opportunity even though we will miss her.

SWAN Board,

I announced this to SWAN staff yesterday. Brande’s last board meeting will be this Friday. I do not have enough emoticons to express my sadness!

Hi SWAN team,

I have some bittersweet news for you. Brande Overbey has accepted a new full-time position as the Community Relations Director for Anderson Animal Shelters, and has submitted a resignation from her position here at SWAN.

I have made arrangements to transition Brande’s duties temporarily within SWAN’s administration. I will utilize Brande for a few hours weekly over the next month or so, along with HR Source (formerly Management Association). I will share more details when they become available, such as the HR consultant that SWAN will contract with. The day that Brande steps down from her full-time role at SWAN is Monday, August 21.

Brande and I have worked together for the past 5 years. She was instrumental in helping us bring our organization out of the period of independence and into the one that makes SWAN fun to work in today. She was key in getting us into our new facility, and helping us with whatever project arose along the way.

Over these next two weeks, Dawne and I will work with her to make sure we have all of our internal operations covered and ready for her last day full-time.

Please wish her the best of luck at her new position. She will get to work with dogs and sloths (and people)!

~A.
