This message is from: Cynthia Madden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Below is a press release from the NFHR Education Committee I prepared for the Spring issue of the Herald. However, you get to see here it first folks. This is because I expect to hear from you strongly opinionated people and I expect some help from you too. Here is your chance to do something. So please sign up to help out. It takes a village to build an education program.
PRESS RELEASE NFHR EDUCATION COMMITTEE SEEKS MEMBERSHIP INPUT The NFHR Board of Directors has approved the plan recommended by the Education Committee presented at the December 1999 board meeting. Part of this plan contains short and long range goals to put a membership education program in place. Short Range Goals Short-range goals are to develop a list of publications and media for the NFHR web site as well as a membership information packet. In addition, the Board of Directors has approved a budget to begin a video rental library for NFHR members. This information should be available by September 1, 1999 or earlier. Your suggestions are sought as to what books, magazines, videos, etc. you feel would be valuable for other members of the NFHR and particularly those people new to Fjords and horses in general. Your recommendations should include: - the title and author/producer, - brief description of why you recommend this particular publication or media (give it a rating of from one to five stars (five stars being best of the best) - procurement information if available - permission to use your name Long Range Goal Time is needed to implement a broader education program. The long range goal was created to provide for good planning and proper involvement of the NFHR membership. Again your help is sought. A subcommittee will be formed to work over the next year to develop and begin implementing a comprehensive membership education program. If you are interested in participating in this planning, please provide the following by May 1, 1999: - your name, address, phone number, fax number, e-mail address - your areas of interest/s for this committee Please send all information to Cynthia Madden, 2852 Martin Avenue, Omaha, Nebraska 68112-2855.
