Healing HEART Sanctuary is currently in the process of organizing its Advisory Council. Specifically we are looking for individuals who bring specific skills, talents, or contacts and have time to utilize these for the benefit of the sanctuary.

The time commitment will not be as consistent as that of a Board Member. But rather may be project or program-oriented. Additionally, at your discretion you may choose to participate on a committee under the leadership of another.

Being named to the Advisory Council also gives us the opportunity to recognize those who have gone above-and-beyond in their assistance to Healing HEART Sanctuary. And we’re pleased and grateful to acknowledge these individual’s contributions.

The members of our Advisory Council include (in alphabetical order):
