Board Elections
Twelve nominations have been received for the 12 board seats. Nominations will also be accepted and encouraged from the general membership. These nominations "from the floor" will be solicited in 2 ways. An announcement will be made at the banquet & an announcement will be put on the website allowing submission of nominations by email for a 2 week period before electronic voting begins.
Banquet
- Trainer gifts will be given to recognize all trainers of champions. Gifts will not be mailed. They will only be given to trainers in attendance at the banquet. Diane Daly will handle acquisition.
- Audrey is very late sending out the banquet sponsorship appeal. Board members were asked to follow up on the solicitation with phone calls.
- Champion photos are needed- Doris & Diane are working on getting them to Audrey ASAP
- In prior years trophies have been returned tarnished. This year the letter asking for the return of the trophy also asked that it be returned polished. But, we acknowledge that some will still be returned tarnished. We will put an "ad" on the website asking for volunteers to polish the trophies on banquet morning at Normandy.
- PHSA Horse Show of the Year Award will be presented by Emily Belin. Audrey will obtain the award.
Point Updates
The Board agreed that we should remain with twice monthly point updates on the website.
Breeding Committee
The rule change proposal, to require judges to have a hunter breeding card to judge pony hunter breeding, passed at the USHJA convention. It now goes on, with the USHJA endorsement, to the USEF Board for a final vote.
A copy of the Zone 2 pony hunter breeding specs were distributed.
