The man at the helm of the Humane Society for Southwest Washington during its multiyear capital campaign and construction of its new facility has resigned.
The Humane Society’s board of directors announced Tuesday afternoon that executive director Chuck Tourtillott resigned. Tourtillott headed the nonprofit for five years.
“We appreciate Chuck’s leadership during a time when our program experienced significant changes ranging from adjusting to the new facility to several reorganizations due to severe economic pressures in recent years,” board chairman Matt Olson said in a news release.
The Humane Society issued a one-page news release about the resignation but did not elaborate on why or when Tourtillott stepped down.
