Aside from the seminars, there are also open forums where you can be involved in the future of the sport. One in particular is the Eventing 2016-2026 Summit, which will be a Town Hall style forum. We have blocked off a portion of Saturday morning so that we can have full attendance and participation. The sport of Eventing has seen massive change just in the last ten years. Looking forward to the next ten years, we need input from our members on making Eventing, and the Association, the best it can be.
