The Sacramento 2013 Annual Report

Message from the Board President board“Thank you for your loyalty presidentand continued support of our Sacramento Zoo. I promise that we, the Trustees, will continue to do our best to carry on the trust you have given us.”

Greetings to all the members of our Zoo family! I have just completed my first year as President of the Board of Trustees. You may have noticed the name change from Board of Directors to Board of Trustees. I asked for this change because it places an important emphasis on who we are: trustees who are entrusted with the care and well-being of Board President James Naify the animal population, dedicated staff, and the beautiful grounds which make up the Sacramento Zoo.

You’ve probably heard about the many successes of the Zoo in 2013, including record 2013 Board of Trustees attendance, the addition of many engaging zoo babies, and the progress of fundraising for the new Small Wonders of Africa habitat. In 2014, we look forward to the completion of this important project, as well as a number of additional changes to the Zoo – all the James Naify, President while keeping the small, family-friendly feeling that we all cherish. Jeff Raimundo, Vice President Charles Dalldorf, Secretary One of the great successes of Kevin Barri, Treasurer 2013 has been the Quarters for Starr Walton Hurley, Past President Conservation program. It has Mary Healy, Zoo Director/CEO allowed us to contribute over $100,000 to habitat conservation Katharine Ayers Gelber in a number of African and Asian Barbara Bonebrake locales.

Although not obvious to the casual visitor at the Sacramento Zoo, we achieved a significant milestone in 2013 with the continuation of our accreditation from the Association of and Aquariums (AZA).

Mary Healy and a tall friend We are extremely proud that the Sacramento Zoo has been accredited since 1975! AZA accreditation ensures that the animals you visit receive excellent care every day, and that the organization has met mandatory, rigorous, professional standards for animal welfare and management, veterinary care, behavioral enrichment, nutrition and staff training.

Rest assured, however, that it is not a rubber stamp process to continue to meet and pass the meticulous standards of accreditation.
