PAWS Atlanta has appointed Crystal Bowman as its new executive director.
Bowman will spearhead operations of the animal shelter in DeKalb County as well as lead strategic vision planning for the future of PAWS Atlanta.

PAWS Atlanta is in great hands to lead us into the future.”
Bowman has more than 15 years of experience in capital campaigns, development, and nonprofit management. Most recently, Bowman served as the Senior Director of Member Impact and Giving at Hadassah, an international women’s organization. She also previously served as the Executive Director of Voices of Note and the Senior Vice President of Programs for StandUp for Kids, both mission-driven nonprofits in the Atlanta area.
“I am absolutely thrilled to embark on this new chapter of my journey at PAWS Atlanta. Working alongside the dedicated staff and board members, I am filled with anticipation for the endless possibilities that lie ahead,” Bowman said in the release. “Together, we will continue to nurture and grow PAWS Atlanta, creating a haven for our furry friends and making a lasting impact in their lives. This is not just a job for me, it’s a heartfelt passion, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this incredible team.”
