Before we start a new year, let’s thank our retired operators: Great Lakes Brian and Elise Butler; NorthWest Angel Graham and Seth Carlson; SouthWest Dwayne and Alanna Garrett. Special thanks and best wishes to our former operators in their future endeavors.
Welcome to our new operators: Great Lakes Rany Passig and Meredith Wille; former NorthWest and SouthWest now Mountain West operators Jody and Tracey Hudson; and SouthEast Renee Yessman and Kayleigh Casey.
Meet Our New SouthEast Dock Operators
Renee Yessman and Kayleigh Casey live in Deland, Florida. They got involved in NADD through their dock diving coach from a local practice pool. “She told us we should start competing, and that’s when our love for the organization began. We have been dock operators since March of this year,” said Renee. “We were both volunteering with the previous dock operator for about three years. The thing we love most about this job is meeting great people and amazing dogs. They say you will never work a day in your life if you do what you love, and we find this to be so true.”
