Connections That Matter
Connecting Through Compassion with Cliff Cullen from Longmont Humane Society

In this episode of Connections That Matter, I sit down with Cliff Cullen, COO of the Longmont Humane Society, to explore how authentic relationship-building powers both business and community impact.
Cliff shares how the organization cares for over 4,000 animals each year, maintains a 98% save rate (far above national averages), and actively collaborates with local businesses and nonprofits. We discuss how he's grown community sponsorships, mobilized over 400 volunteers, and leveraged his networking skills to keep the mission thriving through community support and collaboration.

- Valley Subaru – event sponsor & custom brewery experience partner
- Quarters Bar + Arcade – creative kennel sponsor
- Althaus Law – estate planning referrals
- Camp Bow Wow – short-term dog care partner
