The WPCSA Election Results

The membership elected to return Pat Cochran, Gail Thomson and Dr. Ruth Wilburn to the WPCSA Board for another term.  The Board also welcomes Megan Burtness, Bridlewood Welsh, Paso Robles, CA. Dr. Ruth Wilburn remains as President and Jackie Verkuyl continues in the Vice Presidential position.  All of our board members share an enduring devotion to raising, breeding and showing Welsh ponies and cobs.  A bylaw amendment relaxing the requirements for becoming a director was passed during this election year.
