SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT 2
As previously published, elections for certain UDS Board positions will be held in October. The following positions are up for election and the chart shows if there is an “interim” Board member who has been serving in that position. Even if there is an “interim” Board member in the position, other qualified candidates may be considered.
Per the UDS ByLaws and Policies & Procedures, eligible nominees will be considered until October 6th and then published.

If you meet the criteria and would like to be included in the election, please email Ginny Sorenson - Attention: Nominating Committee - at vicepresident@utahdressagesociety.com (as previously mentioned, Ginny is vacating the Vice President position and stepping into the President role on an interim basis). See job descriptions below.
The Nominating Committee consists of 3 current UDS members - one is a Board member and the others are non-Board members. This year, the Committee includes Ginny Sorenson and two of the Barn Owners’ Advisory Board members: Jan Lawrence and Morgen Bastow. As part of the Committee’s responsibility, it was confirmed that the current incumbents (those currently in positions up for election) have been asked whether they would like to be considered for election/re-election. UDS members who are eligible to be a candidate are urged to contact the Nominating Committee if they wish to run for office.
By October 13th, ballots will be emailed (via Survey Monkey) to eligible voters (members as of July 1, 2022). Completed ballots may only be delivered via a response through Survey Monkey. New Board members will be announced and notified at the November Annual Meeting (date tbd) followed by an email blast to the membership.
