Society of Animal Welfare Administrators

The Society of Animal Welfare Administrators (SAWA) is a nonprofit management organization comprised of professional administrators of organizations involved in the animal care and control field.

SAWA was founded in 1970 by six directors of humane organizations located throughout the country. They wanted to have the opportunity to get together - through periodic meetings - with other executives to share their professional concerns and ideas. They recognized that their positions in the humane movement presented unique challenges both personally and professionally and more importantly, unique opportunities.
