ANNUAL REPORT

2014 2015 annual report MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT

“There is nothing permanent except change.”

Change is everywhere at the Sacramento . In June, the Society welcomed Kyle Burks as our new Executive Director and CEO. Hearing his ideas and enthusiasm, shaped by his experience at the Denver Zoo and the Walt Disney Co., we knew we had the innovator we were seeking to help chart our future. Kyle has quickly adapted to his new city and its beloved Zoo.

You can witness change on Zoo grounds with new animals on exhibit and substantial restroom upgrades. Major fundraising continued in 2015 for a new exhibit complex, including renovation of our Reptile House, to illuminate the biodiversity of the planet. We owe special thanks to the Ingoglia family for their generosity and leadership in helping to finance the Zoo’s new Biodiversity Center.

Change is also happening behind the scenes as we prepare for the next 20 years. In 2010 and 2011, the city and the conducted a study of the feasibility of expanding the Zoo or moving it to a new site. After a thorough community-wide review, we decided to stay in Land Park. However, to make that possible, we must undertake some major changes at our 88-year-old, 14-acre home.

Beginning in late 2015, with the Society’s support, Kyle launched a Master Plan Process. This will provide us a site assessment of the grounds (and whatever decades of secrets lie beneath), a cohesive conceptual design of our future facilities, and an action plan for successfully making those improvements.

Stay tuned. We’ll be reaching out to the community as part of the planning effort and invite you to be part of the Zoo’s transformation for the future.
