Our Contributors

Different skills. Shared purpose.

DARTCC™ has grown through the contributions of people who have shared their time, knowledge, creativity, and professional expertise with us.

Some have helped build technology. Others have contributed design, communications, legal guidance, research, or ideas that helped us see a problem differently. Some have worked with us for years; others joined us for a particular project or moment in our growth.

Each has helped shape what DARTCC is becoming.

We believe stronger solutions come from bringing different experiences and perspectives together. We are grateful to the individuals and organizations who have shared theirs with us along the way.

Freehold Software

Technology Architecture & Development

Freehold Software brings years of technology experience and collaboration to DARTCC. Founder and Executive Director Deb Shelby has worked with the Freehold team since 2013 on a variety of technology projects, creating a trusted working relationship that predates DARTCC.

Today, Freehold provides much more than development support for EASApp®. Their team helps ensure that the technology behind our tools is built on a solid foundation—with thoughtful architecture, strong security practices, reliable development standards, and an eye toward long-term growth.

As DARTCC continues to build tools for disaster animal response and community preparedness, that technical foundation matters. Freehold’s experience helps us make decisions today that will support where the technology needs to go tomorrow.
