Debbie was one of the Cle Elum 7′s first volunteer caregivers, and is our most recent staff member while Elizabeth is heeling. (Pun intended!) She also coordinates CSNW’s advocacy program, Primate Patrol.

Diana is the Director of Outreach. She works on letting people know about the chimpanzees through the media, social networking sites and other outreachy type stuff. The most frequent and most impossible question she gets is “who is your favorite chimpanzee?”

Elizabeth is a caregiver, which means she has the best job of all, but also puts in the most cleaning time. However, she’s pretty certain that there isn’t a better gig in the world than cleaning for the Cle Elum Seven. She is also the sanctuary’s Volunteer Coordinator.

Jackie, a caregiver, has been involved with the organization for years – before the Cle Elum Seven, and even before ground was broken for the sanctuary building. During the summer she helps keep the chimps well fed by taking charge of the vegetable garden.

J.B. is the Director of Operations. He is in charge of the daily goings-on of the sanctuary itself and making sure the chimps are happy and healthy. He also handles donations of goods, so if you’ve sent us anything on our wishlist, you’ve probably received a thank you from him.

Sarah is the Executive Director, which means she spends more time in the office than she’d like. She focuses on fundraising and is developing an advocacy program to help other chimpanzees in need. Anyone have a million dollars to rescue some chimps?
