HASS Director
Elkie Wills, formerly Sr. Director of Community Engagement at San Diego Humane Society, began her animal welfare career in 2004 with the Humane Society of Yuma. There, she honed her skills and understanding of shelter operations while cultivating community support, developing and leading volunteer, media, fundraising, education and partnership programs. Over her 15 years at San Diego Humane Society, her roles evolved from PR and marketing to community support services and most recently leading teams focusing on community outreach and learning and development.
Elkie resides in Michigan with her dog Jovie and spends time participating in 5Ks, volunteering at the local shelter, and enjoying quiet time in the woods!
