Are you interested in working with others who share a passion for the horsemen in South Carolina? Consider joining the SC Horsemen’s Council Board of Directors. The South Carolina Horsemen’s Council represents people who share a love for, interest in, or investment in horses and the horse industry. SCHC has united members to insure that their views are represented to state and federal agencies, the media and the public at large. The Board is composed of volunteer members. Directors get to know the SC equine community and elected officials by representing SCHC at local meetings & activities. Be a part of SCHC programs such as the Youth Scholarship, Stallions to Geldings Grants, Trail Mapping, Annual Expo, Clinics, Seminars, and Horse Welfare. Join in the fun of planning equine events. District Directors communicates and networks with the equine community in their district. The Board of Directors consists of 3 members from each of the 5 Districts and up to 8 At-large members. Directors are elected by the general membership at the Annual Meeting and serve a 3 year term with a maximum of 2 terms. At term expiration, directors must leave for one year before being considered for nomination again. Terms are staggered so that the Board will be a combination of new and experienced members. Do you have leadership skills? Consider leading SCHC into the future! The President of SCHC is the heart beat of our council! Under knowledgeable leadership the SCHC will continue it’s work to connect, communicate, and educate our members, our elected and government officials, and the general public about the horse community and the industry we support. Please keep in mind being elected as SCHC president is a commitment but very rewarding to SC equine community. The SCHC president needs to be available daily if the needs arises. |
