New Business: Equine Affaire to be run by Jean Graves, Barb DuBois, and Jessica Malouf. Bob and Marge Insko, and Janie Fix have offered to help. The main thing that Jean needs is for each club to prepare a basket of hors stuff for a drawing or certificate. There would be a sign up sheet in front of each basket for possible new members.
Region 2 has officially said that they will no longer be hosting our Hunter/Jumper classes. Whittier Lions and the Half Arab club are the only clubs that offer jumping classes. Do we want to have Hunter/Jumpers at Region 1? Mary Ann moved that the Half Arab Club host the Hunter/Jumpers of Region 1 and the Region would pay the Half Arab Club $500.00. If the cost to host the jumping classes went over $500.00, Region 1 would pay the Half Arab club those fees above $500.00 plus the $500.00. The motion was passed Region 1 would continue to supply the ribbons and awards for the Hunter/Jumper classes.
Sierra Empire won the 2008 Club Excellence Award in Communication.
Due to our being over budget, it was decided that there would be nothing done philanthropically at this convention. Need to look at our philanthropic monies at the next delegates meeting. Motion on the floor not to give any donations at this convention. Motion was passed.

Director’s Report: AHA Board meeting August 8th & 9th - Current Show statistics Youth Nationals – 1000 as of 7/18 – budgeted 1100, so it is down slightly. Vendors are at budget. Canadian Nationals – no information as of yet, Sport Horse – same. US Nationals – expectation is that vendors etc. may be up due to curiosity factor.
Current Ride statistics – no information as of yet.
Announcement of Tevis Cup cancellation – due to fires
Registration Statistics as of July 8
looking better 2739 Arabians, 1115 Half Arabians, represents increase of 2% for Arabians, 5% down for H/A. However last year we were down 16% from 06 to 07
Current financial status
Awaiting final audit. However, we do have the YTD for the 1st 2 months of FY09. Operating revenue is down. Operating expenses are also down. Total net is down approximately 24,000 compared to this time in 07.
Membership

2 – a survey of current members has been sent, as of 9am 7/19 am they have had 1400 responses.
Possible resolution to change the membership date back to 12/31

New EVP – Glenn Petty of Wake Forest, North Carolina will take over as Executive Vice President effective July 1, 2008. Petty brings nearly 40 years of equine industry experience to the position, including over 30 years as a show manager, 15 years as North Carolina's State Horse Specialist and years of volunteer service with organizations such as the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) including serving as a member of the Board of Directors and as a long time chair of the Competition Management Committee. He is a Past-President of numerous equine organizations including the NCSU College of Veterinary Medicine Foundation Board.
Petty has earned a myriad of awards and honors including North Carolina Hunter Jumper Association Horseman of the Year in 1991 and 1994, American Horse Council's National Service to the Industry Award in 1991, the Governor's Award for Service to Agri-Business in North Carolina in 1987 and is also a past recipient of North Carolina's Partner's in 4-H Award to name only a few. As a Senior Steward, Petty regularly officiates virtually all USEF divisions at some of the nation's largest breed shows. Currently, Petty and his wife, Joan, own and operate Triangle Farms, a professional Hunter Jumper Farm and show facility in Wake Forest, North Carolina.
"Glenn's resume and record are very impressive in terms of his range of accomplishments," said Myron Krause, AHA President. "Many on the Board of Directors have worked closely with Glenn and praised his organizational and people skills, both valuable assets in a member driven organization such as AHA. He also has an impressive background in fund raising and has been a leader in major fund drives. I anxiously look forward to working with Glenn."
Interview with EVP
I visited with Mr. Petty this week regarding some of his views, directions, reactions etc. Some of this information will be in the next magazine.
He indicated that he did the following to prepare for this job prior to and immediately after coming to AHA
He reviewed the board minutes back to 2002
He spent 1 ½ hrs with each of the senior directors.
His top 5 issues are:
Budget
Membership
Registrations
Youth
Pleasure trail riding
The first 3 are fairly standard, the last two he gave more information on.
To expound on these, he indicated that one of telling results of the survey’s in progress is the age at which the horse owners and former horse owners started with horses – as Youth – where we are missing the boat is to make sure that the first horse activity involves Arabians.
AHA has done a good job in the National level with Youth and Recreational rides. But we have no programs that address the local level both with Youth programs or pleasure riding programs.
Region 1 stuff
1 – Show Commission manual
Working on a Region 1 show manual and procedures manual. To enable us to have a way to train new people and keep current personnel on track and on budget, who would be interested in working on this between now and October – I would like to be able to present it at the Oct meeting for approval.
2 – Arabian Faire. We voted to have a fair – in Temecula, and we said Margaret should run it but I don’t know if Margaret knows that. Do we want to have a fair, if so do we have dates etc.
3 – Is there interest in a Region 1 recreational trail ride?
Horse Show Report: As of July 19, 2008 the income from the Region 1 Show was $25.635.95. There is still one outstanding vendor that needs to pay and one NSF check to be collected. After our pay out to the Wounded Warriors, our net will be about 23 Thousand. The Commission will be working on a time line so that next year things don’t “fall through the cracks”. The schedule will change next year, as the pre-show will go to a day and a half. Friday night will be the only open night with the progressive dinner held that evening. There will be a shift from just prizes to money for the “star” classes.
Web Site: No Report
Youth Director Report: – Gloria Onate-Kemnitz resigned as Youth Director. The new director is Austin Garrett. In the short time that Austin has been in this position, he has filled all the slots for delegates from Region 1 to Youth Nationals, with more waiting in the wings. He has opened lines of communications with barns and groups that were not active before. Had a successful regional youth meeting. Austin has some really good ideas for the future. Among them an informal performance clinic, increase the promotion of Arabians to the youth in Region 1, and create better methods of communication between all the youth members in Region 1

Treasurer’s Report: David gave his report. The report was filed for audit. Nancy reported that an audit of the books would cost about $7500 and a review about $3000.00 from the CPA in Whittier.

Director’s Report: Nancy’s Director Report covered some interesting topics. Some of the points covered were: As of March YTD 07 vs. 08 Youth are down 90 members, Adults are down 500 members. Registrations are down universally based on 06 vs. 07 statistics. 07 – registrations were down across the board, QH by 18%, TWH by 30%, Pinto by 19%, Arabian by 7%. Some contributing factors, gas, economy, elimination of slaughter. Year over year 07 – 08 Purebreds up by 8% and Half Arabs up by 5%. Good news, ACS shows in 07 81 up from the budgeted number, 504 shows/rides – 21% up from 06 mostly from rides. Those were just a few of the highlights from the report.

There will be a “Roach Coach” in the barn area for all the help and exhibitors. Exhibitor’s Reception will have a cash bar, coffee bar, and finger food.

Bob Henry, chair of the Ways and Means Committee presented the budget. There were significant cuts to the budget in all areas and the budget will be revisited after the horse show to see what can be restored to various programs. Equine Affair after this year will be combined with the AHA booth. The funds from that event could be better spent at our Arabian Horse Faire. Kathy Callahan-Smith stated that she was upset that all the funds from racing had been cut. This will be revisited after the horse show, as that is our main source of revenue. Mary Ann Hughes to reduce the scholarships to $750.00 and give racing $1,000.00. Bob Insko seconded the motion. Mary Ann amended her motion to: reduce scholarship funds to $3,000.00 and $1,000.00 to racing. Bob Insko seconded this motion as well. Motion was passed. Kathy made a motion that $350.00 be taken from the youth budget and transferred to the racing budget, Janet Stevenson seconded the motion. The motion was passed.
