New AQHA Director position available in 2012
Director Allocation, two Elected Director positions on the AQHA Board of Directors will again be allocated to Illinois and filled at the upcoming Convention. For decades, the AQHA Nominations & Credentials Committee ("NCC") has been charged with making recommendations regarding the slate of Elected Director
candidates to be voted on by AQHA members at the Annual Convention.
At the upcoming Convention, Elected Director Johne Dobbs will automatically elevate to Director at Large. With her elevation, the NCC is seeking IQHA's recommendation regarding the new member we would like for the NCC to consider placing on the slate to fill the position that Johne will be vacating upon elevation. The NCC requests that IQHA and IQHRA and the AQHA Illinois Directors collectively recommend only one qualified and eligible individual for the vacancy.
In reaching the recommendation, AQHA encourages the association to consider whether the segments of the American Quarter Horse industry (showing, racing, ranching, recreational, etc.) are represented by the individual recommended.
Qualified individuals interested in representing Illinois on AQHA's Board of Directors need to complete the application on the AQHA website. Current Elected Directors seeking re-election do not need to fill out or submit an application. All other applicants should forward their applications to AQHA on or before February 1, 2012.
