Nadia Novik

Chief Operating Officer, Idaho Humane Society

Nadia Novik has worked just about every role one can in an animal shelter. From veterinary technician, to Operations Manager, to her current role, she has seen the exciting changes within the field. A move back to New York in 2006 gave her an opportunity to work with the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine Shelter Medicine Department as well as manage the SPCA of Tompkins County, two experiences that helped broaden her understanding of animal welfare. Currently, she leads the Pets for Life program and can often be found out in the community building relationships with people and their pets. She also works closely with shelters throughout the state of Idaho and beyond, offering support and insight to help shelters find homes for their adoptable animals. With a broad range of experience in the field of animal welfare, she has become a resource on topics ranging from TNR to creating sustainable practices within the shelter.
