Items from Trustees A. The Trustees welcomed Trustee Camal Pennington and several expressed thanks to Mandy and her team for their hard work on the Gala. Trustee Pennington stated he was very excited to be here. V. Staff Reports A. Animal Care – Unfortunately due to heath issues, Will, the Grizzley bear, was humanly euthanized today. However, we have had a small baby boom: first male elephant was born last week, baby tenrecs, and a surprise bat-eared fox. Julu, one of our female giraffes, is expecting and our young red panda, Jupiter, celebrated his first birthday! B. Conservation and Education – Wrapped up first quarter animal visibility which included a few new editions: the millipede and the sharks at Sting Ray Bay. We posed a challenge to the animal teams for higher visibility scores and they are getting really competitive. Making Tracks has completed it’s first year and was very successful! The Zoo saw over 3000 kids and twenty-six school districts. We are now focused on a virtual addition to the program to reach those schools that aren’t withing driving distance to the Zoo. C. Human Resources – Turnover at 21.57% and our volunteer program is growing strongly. D. PR & Marketing – We had strong attendance numbers for May with 40% of guests took advantage of our free or discount programs and we are currently 3% above attendance goals. May events: Member Mondays, Breakfast with the Animals, and Sip & Stroll. 2026 Conservation Travel Trips announced: Mexico, Brazil, and Namibia. E. OZS Update – The Gala set a new fundraising record! We are still reconciling but will have final number soon. Attendance just over 450 and the Wild Encounter pull sold out quickly! A big thank you to the Science Museum for their space! Over $4,000 raised in baby elephant campaign and we approved new board at yesterday’s board meeting. VI. Citizens to be Heard. A. None.
