USPRE Regional Directors

The USPRE Regional Directors

At the USPRE Annual Meeting in Wellington in February 2011, the membership voted on and approved a proposal to add Regional Directors to the organizational structure of USPRE Regional Directors are USPRE members, breeders and riders who volunteer to act as liaisons between the Board of Directors and the membership, to keep members in their regions aware of upcoming events and important issues, assisting members with information, and planning activities in the region

We are proud to introduce your new Regional Directors:
