OBRA Letter from the Director / Board of Directors Meeting 12/20/19

Letter from Chuck Kenlan, OBRA Executive Director

Greetings OBRA Friends,

Just sending a friendly pre-holiday reminder that the OBRA annual meeting and awards banquet is on January 18. The meeting is from 2-5 pm, the banquet starts at 6:00 pm and should last a couple of hours. All rule proposals and interest in running for the OBRA board of directors needs to be sent to me by 5:00 pm on January 8. The annual meeting is very important and is what separates us from other organizations. This is where you, OBRA’s members get to decide on how our organization is governed. Rules can be proposed that amend either our racing rules or administrative rules. It is also at this meeting that two new board members are elected each year.

Due to the recent resignation of one of our board members, the board will be appointing a person to fill out the remaining year of his term. The board, decided on our December 20 conference call, to wait until the two new board members are elected to fill that position. The board also elected Steven Beardsley as board president and Saul Lopez as board secretary. Once the board positions are filled after the annual meeting the board will elect a vice president and treasurer. Thank you, Steven and Saul, for stepping up to fill these important roles.

Minutes from the December 20 board conference call can be found here: OBRA Board of Directors Meeting 12/20.

I wish everyone the happiest of holiday seasons and a very happy new year! Here’s to 2020!

 

 

Chuck
