Claire Lawson

Claire Lawson, Community Programs Coordinator. Claire joined the Banfield Foundation as the Community Programs Coordinator in 2021, a role where she pulls from her innate care for animals and background in client relations and communications to support the wide range of projects and grants. Claire has lived, worked and studied across the United States and abroad, developing her perspectives and interests that allow her to relate and work thoughtfully with a variety of partners and pet owners.

Programs such as Wamakanskan Wawokiye Oti on the Rosebud Reservation is close to Claire’s heart as she has worked in neighboring towns and has family across the South Dakota and the Midwest. Additionally, Claire supports the Better Together Fund, a program supporting Associates across Mars Veterinary Health needing financial assistance because of disasters, domestic violence or other hardships. Outside of work Claire can be found tootling around with Kai, jogging through Portland, tending her garden, and fostering dogs from local rescues.
