RISPCA taps Potter League exec as their new president. What to know.

The Rhode Island Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has appointed Todd Cramer as its new president, effective December 29. Cramer replaces Wayne M. Kezirian, who retires after a five-year tenure. Previously, Cramer served as chief operating officer for the Potter League for Animals in Middletown, where he gained significant experience in animal welfare. His leadership will help the agency further its mission of protecting animals and supporting pet owners across Rhode Island.

The RISPCA has a long history of advocating for animal rights and welfare in the state. Cramer expressed enthusiasm about continuing this vital work. Kezirian's contributions during his presidency have been noted, and Cramer aims to build on this foundation. The transition comes at an important time for animal welfare initiatives in Rhode Island.
