The 2009 Nominating Committee of the American Saddlebred Horse Association (ASHA) has conducted its organizational meeting under the direction of Dr. Margaret C. McNeese, Chairman. Also on the committee are Nancy Boone, Barbara Molland, Shirley Trail, and Art Zubrod. The purpose of the committee is to prepare recommendations for ASHA directors to be elected to three-year terms beginning in February 2010.

The Nominating Committee directed ASHA staff to undertake all possible means to solicit suggestions from the membership, including by email and publishing releases in Saddlebred media. In addition, all suggestions received during previous years have been forwarded to this year’s committee.

Article III, Part II of the ASHA bylaws govern the election procedures each year, explained Dr. McNeese. “The Nominating Committee is required to weigh and balance many factors in making its recommendations, including, but not limited to geography, experience with the breed and its governing organizations, other governance positions, committee service, and expertise required by ASHA. Those on the Nominating Committee also want to reach out to the entire membership to seek qualified candidates for consideration, so that anyone who wishes to be considered, or who has a recommendation of a qualified individual, can be encouraged to put those names forward.”

Suggestions for possible candidates to serve on the board should be sent by letter to:
American Saddlebred Horse Association
Attn: Charlotte Tevis, Administration Manager
4083 Iron Works Parkway
Lexington, KY 40511

Suggestions may also be sent by fax to (859) 259-1628, or by email to c.tevis@asha.net, and should be sent no later than Friday, September 11, 2009. If members prefer, they may contact the members of the Nominating Committee directly at any time, as follows: Margaret McNeese at maragarat.c.mcneese@uth.tmc.edu, Nancy Boone at nboone@carolina.rr.com, Barbara Molland at bmolland@farfieldfarm.com, Shirley Trail at mountaintrailstables@yahoo.com or Art Zubrod at azubrod@ix.netcom.com.
