2010 Award Winner - Elaine Kennedy
Elaine Kennedy is a credit to where animal shelters are going into the future. Elaine is impressive by her recognition of her own worth within the shelter structure, her detailed understanding of the value of the work she is doing and her honouring the need to maintain the connectivity with and sensitivity to the animals in her care.
Elaine gives the impression from her descriptions of what she does that she measures her success not only in the changes in the animals' behaviour but also by ensuring the comfort and pride the animals feel in making these changes - so very, very important and too easy to overlook. Elaine also gives the impression that she has only begun to test her own potential and the potential of applying behaviour modification to improve the quality of human-animal interactions.
