Leadership With Vision
Dian Ver Valen’s Q&A Feature
Our CEO, Dian Ver Valen, was recently featured in a Walla Walla Union-Bulletin Community Q&A. The article gives the public a closer look at the heart and vision guiding Blue Mountain Humane Society.
In the interview, Dian shared how her career in journalism and community leadership shaped her approach to animal welfare. She spoke about strengthening our circle of care by building deeper partnerships, expanding services such as spay/neuter and adoption, and creating new, sustainable ways to support the animals and people we serve.
She also celebrated the dedication of BMHS staff and volunteers, calling this team the driving force behind the shelter’s success and future growth. That recognition reflects what we see every day: a community united in compassion and committed to giving animals a second chance.
The Q&A is an inspiring read for anyone invested in the future of BMHS and a reminder of the impact we can have when we work together.
