Mrs. Jan Wilson received a "Member of the Order of Australia Medal"


Mrs. Jan Wilson, the president of the World Greyhound Racing Federation, whose member is also the Czech Greyhound Racing Federation, received the prestigious award „Member of the Order of Australia Medal“.

Mrs. Jan Wilson has been rewarded,
on the British Queen´s official birthday, for outstanding service to the Greyhound Racing industry and sport and her contribution to animal welfare.   
 


Medal of the order of Australia

Mrs. Wilson has been involved in many executive, marketing and promotion functions in the greyhound racing industry. Besides the chairmanship of the World Greyhound Racing Federation, Mrs. Jan Wilson has been the chairwoman of the Greyhound Racing Victoria (an organization that associates greyhound race tracks of Victoria - an australian state) for  9 years,  she has been heavily involved in promoting australian adoption program – Greyhound Adoption Program (GAP) and Prison Pet Partnership (PPP) in Victoria.
Thanks to the effort of Mrs. Jan Wilson, more than 3000 retired greyhounds have been adopted as pets in Victoria over the past decade.

Prison Pet Partnership is a unique program, that involves inmates from the minimum security Dhurringile prison, a prison in the north of Victoria, in the GAP adoption program. This prison plays the key role last three years because the Dhurringile inmates prepare retired greyhounds for life as pets.

For her diligence and  devotion Mrs. Jan Wilson is considered to be a living legend and as a moral example for everyone that is involved in greyhound industry and animal welfare in general. In despite of her high repute she remains very unpresumptuous. I've met some wonderful people in the industry and we really work as a team. I treat it as an award to the whole industry, I just had the honour and privilege of being chair for the past nine years commented Mrs. Wilson her well-deserved success.

This reward, and no doubt that Mrs. Jan Wilson deserves it very much, falls within the most prominent awards that only a very limited number of persons can reach - the respectability of this medal is comparable to the czech order of the White Lion and is also handed over by the chief political representative of the country.
 

Also the representatives of the Czech Greyhound Racing Federation would like give kind regards and to congratulate Mrs. Jan Wilson on her award.
We would like to have the honour to join the crowd of congratulators. We are very happy that we know Mrs. Jan Wilson in person.
