Karey Krauter - 2014 - Meritorious Service

For nearly 20 years, Karey Krauter of Palo Alto, California has been the driving force behind northern California's successful USDAA market. As an early member of the Bay Team Agility Club, she was instrumental in helping grow the club to more than 350 members and making it one of the largest, most respected and admired clubs in the country. 

Karey has held nearly every club position and has been secretary for countless shows. Her immeasurable hours of work and tireless contributions to the Bay Team have been an inspiration to fellow club members and competitors alike. There has been no task that Karey has shied away from, and she always does everything with a positive attitude and a smile. Her reach extends into all of the other clubs in the region since she volunteers as secretary for many other shows and helps in any way possible. 

The example Karey sets has unified the northern California agility community and made USDAA competitors in the region feel like they are part of one big happy family. She is a worthy recipient of the Meritorious Service Award.
