From AQHA:

American Quarter Horse Youth Association national officers and regional directors for the 2024-25 term were elected July 11 at the Youth Excellence Seminar in Amarillo, Texas.

The AQHYA Executive Committee and regional directors play a major role in the youth association by planning events, participating in community service projects and spreading the word about American Quarter Horses, youth activities and AQHYA. They also represent AQHYA throughout the year at functions and events worldwide.

Each of AQHYA’s 11 regions can elect three directors at the Youth Excellence Seminar. From those directors, delegates elect five national officers.

The AQHYA Executive Committee and regional directors have a unique opportunity to develop leadership skills to enhance their AQHYA experience and all of their future endeavors. All youth are encouraged to get involved. For more information on AQHYA, visit www.aqha.com/youth.
