Volunteering to give your time and talent to the IALHA in addition to your career, family, social life, horses, and other volunteer opportunities is a generous act.
So, a sincere thanks go out to everyone who ran for, is currently on, or is rolling off of the IALHA board of directors, an officer position, or the registry board. Your service enables the IALHA to continue its mission and you are appreciated! Special thanks also to the Elections Committee for their work in conducting our 2026 elections!
There are roles for every member who would like to participate in the governance and work of the IALHA (whether you’re on the board or not!). Please reach out if we can interest you in joining a committee, helping to run a program, or work on projects or events. We can use you!
