How to Join the Board

Are you a WDACO member who would you like to get more involved in the organization?

We welcome new Board members!

Step 1 (optional):  Contact a current WDACO Board member to learn more about the roles and responsibilities of being on the WDACO Board.

Step 2:  Submit a Letter of Interest to the WDACO Board of Directors (info@wdaco.org) explaining your reasons for wanting to be on the Board.  Also, submit an equine-related resume showing your interest and experience with horses.

Step 3: Complete an interview with at least one current WDACO officer. The purpose of this interview will be to determine your alignment with and understanding of the mission of WDACO. You might anticipate questions about your ability and willingness to fulfill the responsibilities of Board membership (e.g., being supportive of all other Board members and Board decisions, responding to email within 36 hours)

Step 4: Be approved by a majority vote of the WDACO Board members.

Step 5: Be approved by a majority vote of the WDACO membership during an annual election.
