Check out our regional club resources for additional information.
The officers of the club should be the president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. Other officers may be authorized by the club’s board of directors.
All historical records for the club should be maintained by the officers of that club and forwarded each year to any new officers; or they should be maintained for safekeeping in a safety deposit box or other secure facility.
Belonging to a regional club gives members the opportunity to be associated with a world-wide organization that shares the common goal of promoting American Paint Horses. Their individual and club involvement might help positively impact the future of the breed.
Being a chartered regional club provides several additional benefits including access to exclusive discounts.
