New Members Elected to Australian Dressage Committee

Mary Seefried, Kerry Mack and Suzanne Cunningham have been elected by the State Dressage Authorities to the ADC for a two year term, from 1/1/13 to 31/12/14. They join Wendy Barker, Caroline Coleby and Elizabeth Owens (Riders Representative) on this skills-based committee.

The ADC consists of five elected Members plus the Riders’ Representative, selected for their experience and skills relevant to the work of the Committee. As part of the governance arrangement for its skills-based structure, a number of positions on the ADC must be vacated each year and opened for re-election. This year, three of the five positions on the Committee became vacant: - Lesley Sullivan, Susie Hoevenaars and Cathie Drury-Klein were not eligible for re-election as they had all completed their maximum number of years on the ADC. Under the current conditions all must have at least a 12 month break before being eligible to re-nominate.

Equestrian Australia wishes to thank outgoing members Lesley, Susie and Cathie for serving on the ADC and the committment they have shown to the sport of dressage.

Equestrian Australia looks forward to the ongoing contribution of Mary Seefried, Kerry Mack and Suzanne Cunningham to the sport of Dressage. The experience and dedication of all our Committee members is essential to the further development of equestrian sport.

The next Australian Dressage Committee meeting will be held in Sydney on Sunday 10 February 2013.
