AHSA DIRECTORS MEET, NAME OF
ORGANIZATION CHANGED |
Directors of the American Horse Shows Association
(AHSA) met in Lexington, Kentucky, on Tuesday, July 10, 2001 and acting as the
Voting Members of the corporation, voted to change the Certificate of
Incorporation to reflect a new name: USA Equestrian, Inc.
The name change was adopted following a presentation by the AHSA consultants
(Helikon Media of Atlanta, Georgia), and lengthy debate and discussion. Of the
46 directors in attendance, 8 opposed the change. The meeting was available for
monitoring by the AHSA's entire membership via the first-ever Internet web-cast
of such a meeting.
The Helikon presentation, as well as remarks delivered by AHSA president Alan
F. Balch, are available at
