Congratulations Danielle Aymond

The Dressage Foundation is pleased to announce the recipient of the Evie Tumlin Memorial Fund Grant for Region 9 Adult Amateurs as Danielle Aymond (LA).

Volunteer Coordinator Needed

We all know how essential volunteers are to our events. SEDA is in need of someone to take on the role of Volunteer Coordinator. Tasks will include: working with show organizers to fill and schedule all volunteers needed, follow up with volunteers to ensure they arrive, being on hand (or appoint someone if you can’t be there) to serve as a point of contact for volunteers at the show, tracking volunteer hours. If this sounds like something you’d like to take on, please contact Nicole.

Sponsors Needed!

One of the ways to earn volunteer hours is by getting sponsors for SEDA. Consider sponsoring something yourself or asking people or businesses you know to sponsor our events. Use the SEDA Sponsorship Flyer for additional information. The earlier in the year we obtain sponsors, the more exposure they will get…and we want to give our sponsors LOTS of exposure!
