Deborah Elliott of Newport, R.I. has been on the ARRI Board of Directors since 2015.
A native of New Jersey, Mrs. Elliott earned a master’s degree in business administration from New York University. She worked on Wall Street as a senior managing director in fixed income securities until she retired in 2005. Previously, she served for two terms on the board of the Potter League for Animals in Middletown, R.I.
Mrs. Elliott says she “never met a dog that she didn’t like.” To her, they all have a special charm: a great smile, beautiful tail or way they cock their head. She believes that all shelter animals are important and deserve to be saved, adding, “I love being involved with a no-kill shelter and am honored to be on ARRI’s board.”
Mrs. Elliott lives with her husband, Skip, and their rescue Weimeraner, Baci, which means “kisses” in Italian.
