“Board members and members of the executive management team complete annual conflict of interest disclosure statements.

Continuous monitoring of all board members and staff takes place as situations occur, with any possible or actual conflicts being addressed and resolved as needed.

“Southeastern Guide Dogs shines as a volunteer-based organization, with more than 1,000 volunteers, including campus volunteers, puppy raisers, breeder hosts, and board members. These wonderful people contribute approximately $13 million worth of service hours annually, enabling us to offer far more value and services than we could otherwise afford. Our puppy raiser and volunteer satisfaction ratings stand at 99%, as we strive to engage our volunteers in meaningful ways. - Campus volunteers: More than 350 dedicated volunteers support daily operations, including conducting early puppy education, operating our gift shop, serving at our reception desk, providing onsite tours, serving as ambassadors, assisting in administrative special projects, taking photos, speaking at events, and caring for our dogs in our Puppy Academy, our Canine Assessment Center, and our Canine University. - Puppy raisers: More than 300 puppy raisers throughout the United States foster our young puppies, providing early training for future working dogs from ages 8 weeks to about 18 months. These volunteers meet twice monthly and reinforce education daily, teaching puppies' basic obedience and early house manners while providing socialization experiences in real-world environments. - Breeder hosts: About 75 local volunteers provide loving homes, healthy environments, and on-call transportation for reproductive services for dogs selected by our state-of-the-art genetics and reproduction department to serve as breeders. - Walkathon volunteers: Several hundred volunteers help us plan and execute multiple Walkathon events every spring. - Board members: our governing board is comprised of 16 business and community leaders throughout the southeastern United States who provide important direction and oversight to the organization.”
