Meet The Maine Animal Coalition Board of Directors
Beth Gallie (President)
Beth is an attorney and lives in South Portland with her husband and two companion animals. She is a lifelong advocate for a plant-based diet. “A plant-based diet adds years to life and life to years.” She also enjoys studying animal law and has taken courses online at the Center for Animal Law Studies at Lewis and Clark Law School. In 2021 Beth formed the Animal Law Section of the Maine State Bar Association.
Perla Hannelore (Treasurer)
Perla lives in South Portland with her dog Callisto. She has a BS in Health Policies, and a MS in Educational Psychology with a concentration in Applied Behavior Analysis. Perla is an advocate at heart and has always had a love for animals. She believes in living life with the least amount of cruelty and embraced a vegan path over a decade ago. Her continued education gave her a deeper understanding of how people learn and why people may follow traditional patterns and take time to change. Perla believes that through education we can make the change needed for a better tomorrow for the animals, the planet, and in turn our health.
Rebecca Zinkowski (Secretary)
Rebecca was born and raised in New Hampshire and has lived in Portland since 2021 with her dog Chedda. As a lifelong animal lover and a registered dietitian, she is passionate about the many benefits of a vegan lifestyle and is excited to have the opportunity to help spread the message by working with MAC. In her spare time, she loves running, hiking, snowboarding, cooking new vegan recipes, making art and spending time with her friends and partner.
