The American Youth Horse Council is blessed with talented motivated volunteers who believe in the organization’s mission and devote their precious time and energy to this cause. We accomplish most of the organization’s work through committees or task-forces. To facilitate the committee / task force process the AYHC President appoints chairs (Chair) from the board members and asks all board member to serve on at least one committee.  The make-up of each committee beyond the assignment of Board Members is left to the discretion of each Chair. AYHC members who have specifically expressed interest in participating in a committee or taskforce will be contacted to explain the expectations for service on the specific committee and find out more about the individuals knowledge and experience that might contribute to the committee.
