Thank You National Stock Show Cowgirls
and Cowboys |
|
A heartfelt thank you from the NARHA
staff goes to the kind folks from
Praying Hands Ranch in Parker, CO and
The Right Step in Littleton, CO. They
along with Diane and Ernie Purcelli who
travelled from Arizona between storms
with NARHA Horse Ambassador Nevada Joe
and Doc Holliday, helped give a
therapeutic riding demonstration at the
National Western Stock Show in Denver.
Confident and competent 11 year old
Jennifer Andalyn from Praying Hands
Ranch was the participant in the
demonstration. In addition to
therapeutic riding Carl Hanson from
Praying Hands also spoke to the audience
about NARHA Horses for Heroes programs
and the mental health benefits EAAT
participants may enjoy. The great folks
from The Right Step filled in as
instructor, leaders, sidewalkers and
arena set-up helpers. Thanks Nicole
Pepper, NARHA Communities Coordinator
for all of your hard work. We couldn't
have done it with one less volunteer. So
from all of us, THANK YOU!
Kaye Marks
NARHA Director of Marketing and
Communications

Update on the Search for a Permanent CEO |
|
Dear NARHA Members,
The dedicated Search Committee: Patti
Coyle, Jody Enget, David
Foley,
Teresa Morris, Chris Sitz and Jimm
Williams, have been charged by the NARHA
Board of Trustees to consider
contracting the services of a
professional search firm experienced in
placing executives in nonprofit,
national, membership organizations. We
are researching and interviewing several
top-quality firms.The process that most
firms employ includes an extensive
discovery process on the front end to
identify the necessary characteristics
and skill set of an executive who will
be the best fit for the long term.
Professional search firms also have the
advantage of a readily accessible
network of potential candidates, which
will hopefully expedite the timeline.
Our goal is to find for NARHA an
exceptionally qualified professional who
is excited by our mission and ready,
willing and able to advance NARHA's
promising future.
We will continue to keep you updated
throughout this process. We are also
ready to capture the opportunities that
will inevitably present themselves.
Sincerely,
Teresa Morris,
Search Committee Chair

connectivity points with the new
database moving along smoothly as the
database has been built and also nears
completion. Staff, committees and task
forces have been approving copy and
images for site content. The graphic
design is complete and being loaded,
copy will be edited, photos uploaded and
the testing phase will begin. NARHA has
been looking forward to this for quite
some time and we are proud and really
looking forward to unveiling it to the
membership. Stay tuned!

NARHA Driving Certification |
|
2010
Driving On-Site Workshop and
Certification Changes
NARHA invites our driving centers to
inquire about hosting a driving workshop
in 2010. The NARHA Driving Committee has
scheduled one certification in 2010, to
be held in June in New Hampshire. A
workshop will be held prior to the
certification. NARHA will not take
applications to hold another
certification unless the New Hampshire
certification fills and a waiting list
of certification candidates is
developed.
We encourage you to download the host
forms for workshops and certifications
and review the requirements. We hope to
hold more certifications in 2011 so we
can grow our driving program! Please
also consider your schedule for 2011.
The new 2010 workshop and certification
host packets are available on the
NARHA website.
Email Tara McChesney at
[email protected] or call (800)
369-RIDE (7433), ext.114 with questions
regarding the 2010 changes.
