Celebrating Our Dedicated Team: CTC Long Service Awards

At Cayman Turtle Centre, our team is the heart of everything we do. Their dedication, hard work, and passion for conservation, sustainability, and education help us fulfill our mission every single day. To recognize their incredible contributions, we recently held our Long Service Awards Ceremony, celebrating team members who have dedicated between 10 and 38.5 years to CTC.

Staff members were joined by our Executive Team and Board of Directors for this special occasion, where they were presented with awards to commemorate their years of service. Each honoree has played a vital role in making CTC what it is today, contributing to the care of our turtles, educating visitors, and upholding our commitment to conservation.

A Message from Our CEO, Chris Jackson

“Our team is the foundation of everything we achieve at Cayman Turtle Centre. Their unwavering commitment and dedication are what drive our success and allow us to make a meaningful impact on conservation and education. We are incredibly proud to recognize these individuals for their years of service and the passion they bring to our mission. On behalf of the entire organization, I extend my deepest gratitude to our long- serving team members—thank you for being an essential part of CTC’s journey.”

Thank You to Our Incredible Team

Our staff’s dedication and hard work are what make CTC such a special place. Their efforts ensure the continued success of our programs and the protection of Cayman’s unique wildlife. We are immensely grateful for their service and proud to celebrate their achievements.

At CTC, our mission goes beyond just our daily operations—it’s about making a lasting impact on conservation and sustainability for future generations. Without our dedicated team, none of this would be possible.
