Regional Coordinators
Regional coordinators serve as liaisons between USDF councils and the GMO's and Participating Members. They are the focal points for finding out what members want; informing them of the plans and goals of their committee; and implementing the plans of USDF. They are your representatives, experienced their areas, and will attend the next convention, so contact them if you have any questions or concerns.

Update from the Executive Board
We had a conference call on March 4, 2002. Some of the issues---The Board voted to donate 10% of the general admission "gala" evening tickets of the National Freestyle Symposium to the Christopher Reeves Foundation. The Board approved the concept of a regional clinic series (similar to the current JR/YR clinics) for adults in 2003. An implementation committee will work on the details. The relocation of the USDF office to Lexington is going well. They have a lease for a temporary location until the office can be built in the Horse Park. The USDF office will be closed on Friday, May 31 in Lincoln, and open on Monday June 3 in
