BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Any legitimate organization with a nonprofit status will have a board of directors in place. This board allocates where any money raised goes and also remains active in the pig community as well as the organization as it evolves. The board is responsible for many things, but one is to keep information as up to date as possible on the website, Facebook page as well as other social media platforms. Since this organization has been around for a number of years, the direction has changed quite a bit and the focus is now on promoting healthy pigs, ensuring owners have all the resources available to them and also protecting the breed. Every one of these board members is trying to do the same by advocating, educating, and volunteering. If you are interested in becoming a part of the solution to the pet pig problem we have in the US, let us know! We welcome new faces and would love to have you on the NAPPA Team.

Susannah Creasman Secretary/Director

Susannah is a bookkeeper who works for a company out of Texas as well runs her own bookkeeping business on the side. Growing up around animals on a farm in North Carolina has made her into the animal advocate she is today. Susannah's daughter first introduced her into the world of pet pigs in early 2014 when she brought what they thought was a micro-mini pig, naming her Willa, who was supposedly going to stay under 20 lbs. Well, they learned very quickly that would never happen and soon learned through research potbelly pigs will never stay itty bitty. Two years after getting Willa, they decided to start a full-blown rescue/sanctuary after getting two pigs that were in bad condition. Their rescue, Willa's Pig Rescue, is now located in East Tennessee they are dedicated to educating people about pet pigs and the effects of inbreeding. Susannah is happy to join NAPPA in the fall of 2018 and can't wait to see what the future holds for them.

Dana Boyle/Director

Dana Boyle, from northern New Jersey, is an occupational therapist, director of rehabilitation, and has been the proud owner of a potbelly pig since 2009. With many questions about raising and training a potbelly pig, Dana researched and came across NAPPA. Since then, she has contributed to NAPPA by writing columns about life with her potbelly pig, Snacks, who she adores. She tries to educate others about owning a potbelly pig as a pet. In addition, Dana also volunteers with the Pig Placement Network and with the Randolph Regional Animal Shelter for dogs.

Ana Garcia/Director

My name is Ana Garcia and I am a director on the NAPPA board. I am owned by two wonderful pigs. I had no idea how to take care of a pig 2 yrs ago but I sure did learn fast. Miss Piggy is my potbelly pig she chose me to be her mama. I got Miss Piggy when she was just 4 days old and she just turned 2 on April 4, 2016. I am also owned by my precious Frankie. Frankie is a kunekune (kunie-kunie) pig. Frankie chose me as her mama when she was 3 months old, Frankie turned 1 in March 2016.

I love animals and it shows, my loving and loyal pets are, Charlie my little Chihuahua, he is 8 yrs old. Charlie is my shadow following my every footstep. Oliver is my 9 yr old African Grey, he is a character and has a very large vocabulary but enjoys telling people to shut up, I need to teach him some manners. Tequila is my Moluccan Cockatoo that I rescued, Tequila is 8 yrs old and is such a gentle soul, she loves to cuddle close and have her head scratched.

I am also the owner of a small Graphic Design/Illustrator company. I have designed a few book covers for Bestselling Authors and I have designed logos for businesses. I am very honored to be part of the NAPPA organization...a wonderful group of people that are truly here for the wellbeing of all pig.
