Shelter Reform is gratified to be able to focus on the positive while simultaneously working to correct serious problems within animal shelters. It is our intention that each subsequent year the cash prize presented with the Maggie Award will increase as the scope of our work increases and we see our mission fulfilled.
The recipient of the 2010 Maggie Award received a handsome commemorative plaque (see close-up at right), a decorative check extolling his achievement, a Bank of America cashier's check made out for $250.00, and Shelter Reform's letter of commendation to him (see the PDF of it here). We at Shelter Reform put our money where our mouth is in our earnest desire to emphasize positive contributions in the animal control world.

This year's winner is none other than Nathan Millwood, animal control officer in Macon, Georgia. Warmest congratulations, Officer Millwood! We hope your example becomes an inspiration to others!
The
city of Macon came out in force to celebrate Nathan Millwood's achievement:
the room was filled with his peers and superiors. To Nathan's immediate
right is Police Chief Mike Burns, who presented the award to Millwood.
To his left is Erica Jackson, and at the far right is Captain Michael
Schlageter. Along with Jami Gaudet, MPD's Public Information Officer
(regrettably not shown), Ms. Jackson (Executive Director of Management
Services for MPD) and Capt. Schlageter (head of MPD Internal Affairs)
have taken a proactive stance in taking the Macon shelter to the
next level. Shelter Reform is continuing to actively support and
encourage these city officials in their sacrificial efforts on behalf
of the animals at the Shelter.
