Board of Directors
Our Board consists of volunteer members who are willing to donate their time and talents to improve the club and continue its role in our community. Many hands make the workload lighter! Elected members meet monthly and meetings are open to general members of the club. Meetings are held at the Walt Neuen's Memorial Horse Park (weather permitting) or virtually via Zoom. These meetings are utilized to make important decisions for the Bismarck Horse Club while brainstorming and instituting plans to improve our club.
Suggestions, comments, and ideas are welcome AND encouraged!
