2008 Appaloosa Board of Directors Election Results Announced

The Appaloosa Horse Club is pleased to announce the results from the 2008 Board of Directors election.

There were contested elections in two territories. In Territory I (Zone A) the new director will be Lynette Thompson, Garfield, Washington. In Territory III (Zone A) Jim Jirkovsky, Kearney, Nebraska, is re-elected. Each will serve a three-term on the board.

The following directors ran unopposed and are therefore re-elected to an additional three-year term:

In Territory II (Zone A), Dennis Dean, Apple Valley, California;

In Territory IV (Zone A), Larry Baker, Sumner, Texas;

In Territory VI (Zone A), Laura Lyon, Howell, Michigan;

*In Territory V, Zone A, Eric Beene, Nesbit, Mississippi, has declined the directorship term which begins in July, 2008. According to ApHC bylaws, the Board of Directors may make a temporary appointment of any directorship to be filled by appointing an ApHC member domiciled in the affected geographical zone pending a special election (or the next regular election). The term of this appointment would likely be from the time of swearing in to the regularly scheduled election in the spring of 2009. The appointed person would be eligible to run as a candidate for the remainder of the unexpired term.

Please see below for the election results as reported by Mr. David Strottmann, CPA, P.A.
