Tam Singer is a life-long animal lover and dedicated animal welfare professional. Originally from the United Kingdom where she studied Communications at Nottingham Trent University. Tam’s career began in recruiting. Her most recent role prior to joining Great Plains SCPA, was in the corporate sector as the Director of Recruiting for a large multi-billion dollar global organization. During her years in the corporate sector, social responsibility was always a big priority. Tam was an active member of social responsibility groups and served on the D&I councils in both her prior roles.

She moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 2002 where she founded a non-profit organization, Make Tennessee a Place that Really Cares, or MTPRC. The organization worked to improve the lives of animals in Nashville through community outreach and education. Through MTPRC, Tam advocated to end Breed Specific Legislation and ban the chaining of dogs.

In August 2017, Tam was hired as Chief Operations Officer of Great Plains SPCA and in 2018 was promoted to Co-President. She now leads the organization as Chief Executive Officer, fostering a culture based on kindness, grace and accountability without fear of isolation.

As a diverse female leader, Tam has earned the Humane Hero award from NashvillePAW magazine and Doing Good, a volunteer non-profit in Nashville, for her efforts to improve animal welfare. She and her husband have a daughter and six animals (two cats, four dogs).
