The ECCO FEI World Championship in Herning 2022 has come, swept us up in a swirl, and is gone again. The IAEJ General Assembly took place in a gap between morning shuttles and the show jumping horse inspection on the 8th of August. There is not much slack time on a championship nowadays and we filled a small conference room with members able to stay a while for our General Assembly to be complete.
Former president Pamela Young, who has been a formidable resource for the association, as well as vice president Louise Parkes who has kept us all in line and down to core values at all times stepped down after time well served. Pamela Young flew in, especially for the occasion and this was the full board’s first meeting in person since being elected at the WEG in Tryon, North Carolina USA, in 2018.
The members had sent in their votes through a member survey and seven board members were elected, updated statutes accepted and the bureau is out – IAEJ now has a board.
At a statutory meeting later in the competition week the new board members sat down for introductions and dispersing of responsibilities. Below the result is displayed.
