Transportation will be provided from the hotel to APHA office. The nearest airport is Dallas/Fort Worth International.
This will be a face-to-face day of food, fun and learning. Also, take in some shopping while you’re here. The General Store will be open and stocked full of APHA branded products.
Beginning the day on Friday we’ll hear from Dr. Rick Rigsby with his never heard before presentation on “Accountability“. As some of you may know Dr. Rigsby is intelligent, funny and brings power to his presentations. You won’t want to miss his enlightening account of “sustaining accountability through momentum”.
The second half of the day will be spent with APHA staff members. Enjoy a presentation on the Breeders’ Trust program, Registration, Performance Awards, Horse IQ and the 4 Secrets to a Great Show. You’ll be able to visit the APHA departments and ask questions. We hope everyone will attend and take back valuable information to your area as a Leader of APHA.
