Honoring

How We Began

CARA co-founders Dan King and Jane Ehrenstrom were perceived as disruptors in the organization where they had previously worked which served them well as entrepreneurs when they formed CARA in 2002. With Dan’s vision of the growth of training and Jane’s experience as a Director of Training, the two built an organization based on their PURE philosophy and values: Professionalism, Understanding, Responsibility, and Excellence. The fact that these PURE values remain to this day is a testament to the foresight, strength, and discipline exhibited by Dan and Jane as well as current CARA leadership and employees. Their friendship is ingrained in the company’s name – CARA means friend in Gaelic – and the logo’s Celtic knot symbolizes a binding friendship and loyalty to each other and CARA clients and colleagues.
