Comments from Tracee Walker, CARDA President:
“CARDA Peabody Award. One of this member’s most remarkable leadership qualities is her commitment to continual growth. She is described as self-less and dedicated with sustained excellence. She strives to be a lifelong learner without ego. Her persistence and work ethic have a profound impact on K9 SAR world, far beyond her home region. As a CARDA TGL and sponsor she pushed others to train thoughtfully while being generous with her time, she embodies being a great team mate. Beyond field work she is equally skilled in search mgmt. and dog ops. He rapport with local law enforcement is exceptional which is a testament to the trust she has earned through the many years of sound judgment and professionalism. We are extraordinarily fortunate to have this member in CARDA. Her dedication, capability and humility set the standard for what a K9 SAR professional should be, and I can think of no one more deserving of the Peabody Awards than Jan.”
