continues to provide your center with premium education and to maintain
uninterrupted access to the wealth of benefits available to PATH Intl.
centers, please
renew your center membership by December 31.
Online center renewal for 2016 is available, and it is especially easy
to renew your membership before it expires. With the elimination of
paper, you'll end any worry about losing your form on the desk or in the
mail.
Click
here to renew online. NOTE: The center's primary contact or
executive director must be logged in to their personal account in order
to renew online.
If you need to update the primary contact for your center, please send
in a center
change notification form or a premier

Of course, if you prefer to send in a hard copy renewal, that is still
an option. Download and complete the center
renewal booklet and renewal invoice, and mail it in.
Centers that prefer to pay by check may now complete the center renewal
booklet online and mail or use an electronic check for center membership
dues.

Equine
Tip From the PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee
|
|
Benefits
of Conference
By Cathy
Languerand, PATH Intl. Equine welfare Committee Chair
It was a nine hour drive to Cleveland, Ohio, a great time to think and
plan (on the way out) and reflect (on the way back) on my reasons for
attending this year's PATH Intl. Conference. Read
more
The
PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee is making a commitment to refine and
deepen our perspective of equine well-being to include the physical,
mental and emotional well-being of our wonderful four-legged partners.
Join us on this journey. Please add your thoughts on the PATH Intl. Community
Connections page. It is our desire that these tips start a further
discussion on Community Connections. Any thoughts? We appreciate hearing
from you!
