NORWICH – Lisa Teller, Director of Operations, Chenango SPCA, was selected as the recipient of Commerce Chenango’s February Employee of the Month.

Lisa has gone above and beyond the call of duty at the SPCA for over four years. With incredible challenges each and every day that range from handling animals, to helping people, to looking for funding streams, Lisa is always willing to go the extra mile.

Lisa moved here from New Jersey 10 years ago. She owned her own business breeding boxers, offered obedience instruction and provided day care for dogs. Due to her love of animals, it seemed a natural fit when she moved up here and started volunteering with the SPCA. She enjoyed learning the workings of the shelter and quickly moved up to her current position. Lisa says, “I love working here, my boss and all of my co-workers are wonderful, and we all make a great team.” In her spare time she likes to camp and spend time with her family, her five dogs, her pony and two miniature horses.
