A new year and a new journey. Representing the Ohio Quarter Horse Association as the 2022 queen is an adventure that I cannot wait to partake in. I have been involved with OQHA since I was four years old. I served on the OQHYA Board and currently serve on the OAQHA board. It is an honor to represent an association that has given me so much, and also helped me become the person I am today. I look forward to seeing what this year brings for us all. I hope to make all of you proud and will represent our association to the highest standard to the best of my ability. I can’t wait to see you all during our 2022 show season. Please don’t hesitate to stop and chat! Best of luck this year!

The 2022-2023 American Quarter Horse Association Executive Committee was elected at the 2022 AQHA Convention in Las Vegas. Though AQHA operates primarily upon the decisions of its members through the board of directors, the five-person Executive Committee is responsible for implementing important decisions and governing AQHA between the annual meetings of the membership and the board. The Executive Committee convenes throughout the year to conduct and manage the business of AQHA. The AQHA Executive Committee – consisting of a president, first vice president, second vice president and two additional members – is elected each year by the board at the convention. Each member serves a term of one year until the selection of his/her successor. Members are eligible for re-election and may serve on the Executive Committee for up to five years. The 2022-2023 AQHA Executive Committee is: • President Dr. Scott Myers of Sharon Center, Ohio • First Vice President Kenneth Banks of Schulenburg, Texas • Second Vice President James “Jim” Hunt of Faith, South Dakota • Member Jeff Tebow of Piedmont, Oklahoma • Member Jim Brinkman of Ericson, Nebraska
