04/06/2020 - Time to Renew Your NAMSHA Membership

Vote in the upcoming elections and more!

It's getting to be that time of year again! If you joined NAMHSA at any time in 2019, your NAMHSA Membership started on January 1, 2019, and expires on December 31, 2020. If you joined at the beginning of 2020, your membership is valid through December 31, 2021. If you joined NAMHSA earlier than 2019, your membership has expired and is in need of being renewed!

Wondering why NOW is a good time to renew your membership? Here's some great reasons!

1. Make sure you are able to vote in the upcoming Regional Representative and Vice President election. This year, the even numbered Regional Reps are up for election so if you live in Regions 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10, this is especially important for you.
2. Upcoming Bylaws changes are also only able to be voted upon by the current NAMHSA membership.
3. Want to nominate someone to run for the Board of Directors as Vice President or even numbered Regional Representative? Nominations are required to come from the members.
4. Renew now so you can take easier advantage of the member discount for NAN 2020 entry! Entry costs enough, save yourself the time and trouble now. Plus, if you have questions or issues with your renewal, don't let it potentially harm your NAN 2020 entry.
5. Reduce your upcoming model horse show stress and put your application in now for a NAN Qualifying show - which includes membership to NAMHSA!

You can renew your membership for 2020-2021 by visiting the Membership page here. There, you can renew your membership two different ways - either by using the form online or downloading the form to mail-in. Individual Memberships are $30 for two years and entitle you to voting privileges and discounted entry fees to NAN. All memberships are one vote per person. The number of shows any one person holds has no bearing on the number of votes one receives. Payment can be made either via PayPal or a personal check/money order.

Membership renewal MUST be completed by April 31, 2020 to be able to vote in the 2020 elections. Any membership renewal requests after that date will not be receiving a 2020 election ballot. No renewal will be considered final until payment and proper paperwork has been turned in and verified by NAMHSA.

Have any additional questions regarding your membership? Please contact Lindsay Diamond, Membership Secretary at show-secretary@namhsa.org directly.
