RE: [Enduranceriders] Issues before the Board of Directors at the Convention

["Bob Morris" <bobmorris@rmci.net>]

OK Mike you are our Director at Large so here it is.

1. <<<Final Yr End Summary & review of Finances with explanations>>>

The membership should get not only the standard Financial Statement but also
a Budget Comparison. How well did the we do as far as line items, where the
under runs and over runs occurred.

2. <<<Bylaws Committee Report Steve Rutter -
discussion of additions/deletions, how and when
to present to membership for vote>>>

When does the membership get to see these By-laws changes? Will there be a
reasonable comment period prior to voting? What will be the process for any
membership requested changes to the By-Laws presented?

3. <<<Rules Committee Vonita  Bowers  >>>

Remember my request regarding the issuance of rules changes in hard copy
form to the members prior to the changes taking effect?

4. <<<USET-AHSA Q & A Period (30 minutes) Mary Lutz-Mike Tomlinson
******relating to international and North America
competition >>>?

This may be a moot thing as the decision is to be made the 25th of February

Mike, I would like to suggest that you all consider bringing these Board
meetings into the 21st century. It would be a good time to consider the use
of resolutions for the presentation of business at the Board Meetings. This
would save time, all interested parties would be aware of the business to be
undertaken and the membership would have a chance to give input to the
Directors as to THEIR thoughts. Take a good look at how the IAHA handles
their meetings and business.

Subject: [Enduranceriders] Issues before the Board of Directors at the
Convention


There have been a number of requests in the past for more information about
the issues to be discussed at the Board meetings.

Following are a few issues that will appear in the meetings next week.
While
it is close to the meeting time - if you have opinions on any of the
topics -
you should let your representatives know your views.

In many cases - all we know now is that there will be a report by a
committee
chairperson so if you have view on the topic - you should check your latest
EN to see who to talk to.  Often there are e-mail addresses in addition to
the
normal phone and regular address.

It is also possible that Michael Stone will be there to talk with those
who would like to learn more about FEI.  When I have more information -
I will post it.

Mike

Motion for New High Mileage Award
*******proposed that horses who reach 5000 miles - regardless
of rider or owner - get an award presented at the awards banquet.  The
wording would say something like "AERC 5000 MILE ENDURANCE HORSE"
and would be unique in color and style.  After that, if the horse reaches
6000 miles, it would get a plaque starting with 6000 and room to add
7000, 8000, etc. as it continued to reach mileage plateaus.  These
would also be given at the awards banquet to show AERC really
recognizes high mileage horses.  They would be presented to the
owner of the horse at the time of the
banquet and would hopefully stay with the horse if it is sold.
