About Meredith Ayan

---

Hi! I’m Meredith Ayan, the Founder and CEO of “In 100 Years” nonprofit consulting, advising clients on a wide variety of initiatives, including fundraising, event execution, international and governmental issues. I am also a Certified Fundraising Executive, the only professional accreditation in nonprofit fundraising. I serve as a board member for multiple animal welfare nonprofit organizations in the Hudson Valley as well as Tanzania.

I am the former Executive Director of SPCA International, a global animal welfare nonprofit.  I’ve led field work in Brazil, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras, Iraq, Lebanon, The Philippines, Romania and Tanzania; building global partnerships and innovative animal care campaigns. 

In April 2014, I had the honor of testifying before the Congress of Deputies in Spain on the issue of stricter enforcement of their animal welfare laws. In 2018, I oversaw the historic mission of removing 15 puppies from the Chernobyl Nuclear Exclusion Zone, an international effort marking the first removal of any animals from the zone in 32 years. You can see my work featured in the Netflix documentary series “Dogs” season 2, episode 3.

I am also currently the CEO of WINGS Women of Discovery, a nonprofit that funds, elevates and builds community around women pushing the boundaries of science, exploration and conservation.
