Ramey - What a shame about the pre-conference seminar!!! As I have said
before, I believe one of the best ways for AERC to grow and expand its
influence is via education. Obviously the organization doesn't have tons
of money so it should eagerly accept the efforts of volunteer members (like
you!) and be willing to partner with other organizations and groups also
interested in educating horse-people. Only the sport, our horses and we
ourselves stand to benefit!
I feel strongly about this because I witnessed the marginalization of the
sponsoring organization of another hobby of mine because it failed to
recognize and act on its' members requests for information and education.
For-profit groups picked up the ball and 20 years later still exert as much
if not more influence than the sponsoring organization.
Cheers and keep up the good work, Laney
