ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE OFFICE Dear Members I am writing to advise all members that John Maher has resigned from the role of President of the Australian Appaloosa Association. John has, however, agreed to remain on the Board as Treasurer of the Association. As a result, and as Vice President, I have taken on the role of President of the Association effective immediately. I am sure that you will join me in showing our appreciation for the all the hard work that John has done while the President of the Association and know that he will continue to provide valuable input as Treasurer of the organisation. In general terms, I believe that the most important thing for the Board, for staff, for the Association and for members is to work towards achieving our Mission which is: •To record and preserve pedigrees of the Australian Appaloosa while maintaining the integrity of the breed •Provide services for the benefit of its members which encourage Appaloosa ownership and participation; •Foster growth and membership in the Australian Appaloosa Association Ltd through promotion, recognition, advertisement and publicity of the Appaloosa; •Charter a regional and national network of clubs or associations and provide support and assistance to them in their efforts to promote the Appaloosa breed. How we, as an organisation meets this, is by working together to develop better processes and procedures. As you are aware, we now have a full Board of 7 members which has not been the case over the last few years. This means that we are now able to distribute the workload a little more and allow us to implement new initiatives. I know that you, as members, have the best interests of the Association at heart and I can assure you all that so do the members of the Board and our Office Manager Kiara LeCerf. As you are aware, each Director has a portfolio and they will be working hard to try to ensure that the Association prospers, is innovative and forward thinking. I am honoured to be taking over the role of President of the Australian Appaloosa Association and hope that all of you as members continue to enjoy our breed the wonderful appaloosa. Should you wish to discuss any issues at anytime, please do not hesitate to call me or email me at [email protected]. Jo Green.
