The Maryland Horse Council
has a unique membership structure, which allows it to represent
the broadest spectrum of people involved with or interested in
horses. Our membership consists of associations, farms,
businesses and individuals. The Association members, e.g., breed
enthusiasts, sport and discipline groups, etc. are each entitled
to one vote on the Board of Directors. The other membership
categories: Business, Farm, Individual, etc., exercise their
voting privileges through elected Directors-at-Large. Each of
these categories elects one Director-at-Large for every 25 or
fewer members of the category. This composition of the Board of
Directors balances the voting strength of each of the diverse
groups.
