OLD BUSINESS
• Events/Education: 2 weeks prior to our club meeting, we sent out a poll on our
internet Facebook page as a few members also shared on their FB page. We told
them IEAHC is planning a fall clinic and asked for feedback on what discipline
would be preferred. They had a choice of
• A.) Pleasure/Hunter/Western,
• B,) Ranch Riding/ Reining,
• C.) Sport horse (in-hand & Under saddle),
• D.) Western Dressage/Classical,
• E.) Halter/Showmanship,
• Most replied Western Dressage, Melinda called and spoke with Jessica Wisdom
and from what Jessica told her, she is available the end of October. They discussed
her price (for 2 days), travel and accommodations. Melinda let Jessica know that
she was bringing this info to the meeting to get approved before we hire her. Melinda
brought the information to our meeting, and we had a long discussion about the
price, where it will be held, Fee for members, fee for nonmembers and giving
members a few days lead way to have a spot in the clinic.
Connie Arnold is looking into a couple places to ask if they would host our event. If
not, we have a member who will.
Kelsey Tallman made a motion to Move forward with Jessica Wisdom being our
clinician, our fee for members, Fee for non-members, and a 3-day lead way for
members to secure their spot in the clinic.
Dawn Gray 2nd the motion, all members voted in favor; the motion passed; the
report will stand for record.
• Delegates (Sheri) Sheri called a Board meeting August 15,2024 to discuss the
parameters around choosing delegates.
• Sheri made a proposal at the board meeting that attendance of club meetings from
January 1st until the time of nomination, Involvement with AHA shows or club
activates was to be the qualifier for being nominated as a Delegate.
• It was suggested the board review our Bylaws. The bylaws state that delegates are
to attend general club meetings, serve actively on a minimum of one club project
committee, and attend regional meetings. Since the bylaws were written, we no
longer have regional meetings for our delegates to attend. There were a few
suggestions from Board members to use for a final qualifier in choosing delegates.
The board nominated 6 that qualified.
• Kim Rasmussen,
• Carol Rasmussen,
• Angie Mckee,
• Connie Arnold,
• Melinda Corigliano

• It was suggested at our club meeting that we vote secret ballot to all club members
and announce the 3 delegates and 2 alternates at the sept 7th meeting everyone
