America’s Horse, September 30, 2008 – The American Quarter Horse Association Nominations & Credentials Committee and Executive Committee recently approved the use of a Rule Change Proposal Form by members who want to submit proposed rule changes for the AQHA Official Handbook.
“AQHA members play an important role in influencing positive change in the Association,” said AQHA Executive Vice President Bill Brewer. “This opportunity allows members’ voices to be heard by proposing new rules or changes to existing rules.”
Rule Change Proposal Forms will be available online at /http://www.aqha.com/passthrough/pdf/rulechangeproposalform_fillable.pdf/. All proposals are due by December 31, 2008. Meritorious proposed rule changes will then be assigned to the respective committee(s) and included on AQHA’s Web site with an invitation for members to submit comments.
AQHA asks that members take the following steps when writing a proposal:
- Define the problem and develop as many possible solutions as you can by asking others for input.
- Choose one possible solution that appears to be the most appropriate and that fits the mission and goals of AQHA.
- Determine if any other rules would be affected if your proposal were to be adopted, and specify the rule numbers.
- Submit proper wording for a proposed rule change by typing or neatly printing the exact wording being proposed. If you propose changes to existing language, strike through the words you propose to delete. Type in bold and italics the words you propose to add.
