APHA’s standing committees have posted their agendas for the 2016 APHA Convention on the association’s website. Committees have been meeting throughout the year via telephone and digital communication sessions, but they’ll get together for several live discussions at the APHA Convention, February 2 6– 29 in Richmond, Virginia.

Almost all standing committee meetings are open to anyone who wishes to attend, and all APHA members are encouraged to attend Convention and participate in both committee meetings as well as great social and educational opportunities with fellow Paint Horse enthusiasts. Convention is free to attend, but registration is highly encouraged due to limited seating at some events.

Among the committees meeting at Convention are the following:

Amateur
Breed Integrity & Registration
General Show & Contest
International
Judges
Long-Range Planning
Professional Horseman
Regional Club
Recreational Riding
Rules
Youth

Committees will discuss rule change proposals and other points of business during their sessions; based on those discussions, committees will vote whether to advance rule change proposals out of committee for Board of Director voting.
