The Executive Director also serves as the Attending Veterinarian, and is responsible for long-range planning, leadership, and oversight of animal care and use at UC Davis. The position manages and strategically harmonizes the distributed operations of over 1 million square feet of animal holding space in 200+ buildings that are overseen by individual vivarium managers.

The Executive Director leads a team of stakeholders that are responsible for identifying solutions that balance multiple and often-competing resource priorities. Cabinet members may include the Sr. Associate Vice Chancellor-Planning, Delivery and Facilities; Sr Associate Vice Chancellor-Finance and Resource Management; Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) Chair; IACUC Administrator; Associate Vice Chancellor-Facilities Management; a Vivarium Facility Manager Representative; Office of Research Representative; User Group representation; and Faculty Advisors designated by the Academic Senate. Each cabinet member (stakeholder) has an equal voice to identify issues and advocate for their respective constituencies but with the equally important responsibility of finding solutions that balance multiple, and often competing, resource priorities and the overriding campus needs.

The Executive Director serves in a public information, training, consultative, and facilitating role on behalf of the University's programs of animal care and use. The Executive Director supports the academic mission by assuring compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local animal welfare regulations that govern the use of animals in research and teaching.
