WildCare Oklahoma

Inger Giuffrida is the Executive Director of WildCare Oklaholma, the well known animal rescue facility near Noble, and will be the speaker at our October 21 meeting. For decades WildCare has taken wounded animals of all kinds and nursed as many as possible back to health and returned them to the wild. Inger will give us an illustrated tour of the facility and relate why and how they do it.

Inger moved to Oklahoma from Washington, D.C, in 2004 and joined the WildCare team in 2019. She served in the U.S. Peace Corps in East Africa, directed a regional nonprofit women’s economic development organization, started a microenterprise and financial wellness program within a nationally recognized federal community development credit union, and ran the field services division of a think tank in the nation’s capital. For the past 22 years, she has operated a consulting business providing services for a wide variety of clients including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the FDIC, the CFPB, United Way Worldwide, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, and many others, working in all 50 states and Canada. She has a B.S. from Miami University, M.B.A. from Western Michigan University, and CFRE from the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy at Indiana University and is a graduate of Leadership Grand Rapids `98 and of Leadership Norman `19. She serves on numerous boards and in a wide number of volunteer positions in the community. Currently, she serves as co-chair of AIM (Area & Infrastructure Master Plan) Norman, which includes the development of the comprehensive, 20-year land use plan as well as master plans for housing, transportation, water, wastewater, stormwater, and parks.

A lifelong animal lover, she lives on a mini-farm in Norman with her husband of 27 years, children, Sam and Sofia, and many four-legged and furry family members including Stella and Penelope, two American Guinea Hogs.
