After nearly six months of the position being vacant, the Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society welcomed Charles Brown to the role of executive director March 13.
Brown most recently served in the role of executive director at the Terre Haute (Indiana) Humane Society, but has spent the past 25 years working in animal shelters all over the country. Brown decided to apply for the executive director position at GMHS to raise his sons in a smaller community. His family will be joining him in May.
