2006 Greyhound Leadership Awards
November 11, 2006 (Cambridge, MA) -- Supporters of GREY2K USA gathered at the Elephant Walk restaurant to meet the GREY2K USA Board of Directors and honor this year’s leading advocates for greyhounds.
Senator Sheila Roberge of New Hampshire was named "Legislator of the Year" for her steadfast commitment to ending dog racing. The Senator sponsored legislation to require injury reporting by the state’s dog tracks last year, and this year helped win Senate approval for repeal of over $300,000 in annual subsidies previously benefiting Seabrook and Hinsdale Greyhound Parks.
