Sally Brien, a vegan and committed animal rights advocate, is an active participant at ALV demonstrations and speaks out strongly for the animals. Coming from a management, training and recruitment background, her knowledge and organisational skills have been also been instrumental in the development and successful launch of the ALV Member’s Meetings. The meetings have seen many new members welcomed to our organisation in the fight for animal rights - something she is truly passionate about. Sally believes volunteers are vital to the ongoing success of ALV and she has been actively helping to provide information and coordinate volunteers. Her aim in 2008 is to continue in this direction and develop volunteer members within ALV to ensure the strength of the animal rights voice is heard loud and strong. Sally is also one of the co-ordinators of the ALV/CCF Super Live Expo.
