2026 Committees
Our committees are the backbone and the behind the scenes workforce that keeps the Northwest Miniature Horse Club moving forward and in line with current trends. Our hard working committee members plan and implement shows, clinics, fun events, meetings and social gatherings. The Publicity Committee designs ways to advertise our club, through media, merchandise, and activities. Our Web Site Committee works hard to keep our site current. Our Youth Committee manages our available scholarships, plans outings, conducts fun events at the shows, and arranges for educational seminars for our youth. The Show Committee, which consists of Show Coordinators and Directors, creates the class lists, reserves the show venues, plans new shows, and assists The Show Manager in making sure our shows run smoothly. Our ByLaws/Rules & Regs Committee develops the regulations that our club follows and is continually updating and refining them. Want to WIN MONEY? Our Gelding Incentive Committee coordinates the program that pays back money to our cherished geldings! The Year End Awards Committee keeps tract of points earned by every horse that enters our shows, researches and purchases awards that are presented at our Year End Banquet. The Fall Meeting/Banquet Committee selects a venue for our Fall Meeting and coordinates everything to make our meeting and Awards Banquet a memorable event. Our Audit Committee reviews the financial records to help our Treasurer keep the club financially stable.
All members are encouraged to join a committee and be a part of the team that makes the Northwest Miniature Horse Club such a huge success. Our club belongs to our members, and without them and their hard work and dedication there would be no shows, no clinics, no youth activities -NO CLUB.
Committees are formed at the Fall Membership Meeting. They begin getting to know one other and setting goals for their committee that are presented at the Winter Membership Meeting. Committee members communicate regularly and easily through messenger, and are able to share ideas, plan social events and make suggestions for new ideas to the Directors and the membership.
