To say that Wanda was a truly wonderful human being is to understate significantly the impact she made on the lives of those who met and knew her as well as those who didn’t but benefited from the love and compassion she emanated.
Wanda was first the Chair of the Animals and Society Institute and most recently was our Honorary Board Chair. As my ASI colleague, Bee Friedlander, says
Wanda was the natural choice to head our newly formed organization, having served on the boards of the two component organizations, the Institute for Animals and Society and the Society and Animals Forum.
ASI’s Chair, John Thompson, said
When she interviewed me prior to my joining ASI I recognized her loyalty to the goal of creating a better world for all of us animals. She contributed enormously and inspired others to do likewise. I hope we can honor her spirit in our work.
