AMERICAN HUMANE

American Humane is the country’s first national humane organization. Founded in 1877, American Humane ensures animals’ safety, welfare, and well-being. Our leadership programs are first to serve in promoting and nurturing the bonds between animals and people.

A group of guests and supporters of the work of the Organization attended the luncheon. Those in attendance included Jean Shafiroff (Board Member), Dr. Robin Ganzert (Executive Director), Ava Roosevelt, Kim Dryer, Kathleen Gannon, Sharon Jablin, Pamela O’Connor, Lauren Roberts, Janet Levy, Pamela Wright, Elizbeth Steinberg, Rashmee Sharma.

Jean works extensively as a volunteer fundraiser and leader in the philanthropic world. Among the many causes she champions are those involved in women’s rights, rights of the underserved, health care, and animal welfare. Jean serves on the boards of the American Humane, Southampton Hospital Association, NYC Mission Society, French Heritage Society, Couture Council of the Museum at FIT, Global Strays, New York Women’s Foundation, Casita Maria, and Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation Honorary Board. A Catholic, she served on the board of the Jewish Board for 28 years and is now one of their honorary trustees.
