The American Quarter Horse Association has released the AQHA Standing Committee Agendas for the 2018 AQHA Convention, which is March 2-5 at the Hyatt Regency Riverfront in Jacksonville, Florida.

Even though the deadline to submit rule-change proposals for the 2018 convention was December 31, 2017, your input is encouraged and taken into consideration when decisions are being made. After all, it’s AQHA members who lead the charge toward changes that make the Association – and the equine industry – better.

Be sure to check out what’s on the agendas for the AQHA Standing Committees and watch this quick video that explains how AQHA members submit ideas that can turn into rule changes.
