In an effort to diversify their governance model, the U.S. Hunter Jumper Association has announced the establishment of Jumper and Hunter Working Groups, which will include representation of athletes, amateurs, trainers, owners, riders, licensed officials, competition organizers and coaches.
“It is always important in governance to strike a balance between retaining experienced volunteers who have demonstrated their willingness to work, while adding new people who will bring new ideas, new perspective and new energy to the leadership mix. Another important element is to make certain we involve currently active athletes in the governance equation,” said USHJA President Bill Moroney.
After receiving input from the USHJA Zone Councils, the USHJA Affiliates Council, the USEF National Jumper and Hunter Committees and the USEF Show Jumping High Performance Committee, USHJA has named the following as members of the USHJA Jumper and Hunter Working Groups.
