Chamber Luncheon featuring Best Friends Animal Sanctuary CEO

One of the founders of Best Friends Animal Society, Gregory Castle now serves as the CEO of Best Friends. Throughout much of the last 25 years, Gregory has been a key leader in animal welfare, as well as a voice of reason and reconciliation among grassroots rescue groups, animal shelters and national animal organizations.
 
Gregory created No More Homeless Pets in Utah, a campaign involving animal welfare and rescue organizations, animal control officers, veterinarians, schools, and animal lovers from across the state in aggressive spay/neuter, adoption and public awareness programs. Now merged with Best Friends, the campaign is called Best Friends Animal Society–Utah.
 
Gregory also initiated Utah’s Week for the Animals, now in its 16th year. The week includes educational and public awareness programs, special discount spay/neuter services, pet adoption fairs, and public service awards. It is a model for cooperative efforts in the humane community throughout the country.
 
Gregory grew up in England and is a graduate of Cambridge University with a master’s degree in philosophy and psychology. His background includes extensive administrative and accounting work for nonprofit human services and church organizations.
