AQHA Rule-Change Pro- posal Deadline Each spring, AQHA


holds a convention to review the Association’s rules and policies. During the conven- tion, member-submitted rule changes and suggestions are also reviewed. AQHA wants to hear any suggestions you have to make AQHA mem- bership, programs and serv-


ices reach their fullest poten- tial. AQHA members have until December 31, 2018, to submit items for the 2019 convention, but if you be- lieve there is a need for a major rule change, the Asso- ciation encourages members to submit items earlier to give Association staff and/or com- mittees and councils more time to prepare materials and communicate


potential


changes before the conven- tion in March 2019. AQHA standing committees will meet at convention to con- sider the submitted items. Download and com-
