We pleased to announce that Rick Moscati has been appointed Chair of the Lort Smith Board, with Kirstin Fox continuing in her role as Deputy Chair. This follows the retirement of Dr Alastair Stott after five years of service in the role. The board has thanked Alastair for his significant contributions during this time and would like to acknowledge his ever-giving nature and unwavering commitment to Lort Smith.

We are also extremely pleased to share that Frances Mirabelli has been appointed as CEO of Lort Smith following a period of transition. Frances not only brings deep experience in healthcare, social impact, and purpose-led leadership, but has already shown great passion and commitment in advancing the mission of Lort Smith during her time as Interim CEO.

The role of Lort Smith has never been more vital. We are excited to advance, build on our heritage and find further ways to expand our reach and help more families and their pets.
