NORTHERN ROCKIES REINING HORSE ASSOCIATION (NRRHA)
BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING
March 21, 2009, Blue Mtn. Vet Clinic
Present: Rick Coyne, Sue Coyne, Patti Cusker, Dan Browning, Dane Goeden, and Marie Matson.
Guests: Casey Richardson
The meeting was called to order at 1:20 pm and the Treasurer's Report was first up.
Patti gave everyone a copy of the report, containing expenses, income, account balance and outstanding checks.
The judge for the first show will be Greg Darnell. His flights have been booked and paid for. The itinerary has not been mailed due to the indecisiveness of the airline but will be mailed soon.
We are waiting on the IRS non-profit stuff. There is a 60 day wait, starting date March 11, 2009.
We also need to choose an accountant to audit records for the club. By-laws state that we must have a "commercial" accountant. No hurry just needs to be done by January 2010.
Year End Awards discussion:
Dan made a motion to follow the by-laws as written for determining 2008 NRRHA Year End Award winners and the attendance rule is that the horse and rider must have attended both NRRHA hosted shows and proof of attendance is that the horse and rider must have been entered in both NRRHA hosted shows.
Dane seconded the motion. Unanimously voted and approved.
Dane, Marie and Dan are appointed the Year End Points Committee. 2008 points to be audited ASAP and year end standings solidified.
A clarification amendment is needed pertaining to the year-end award qualifications/requirements. This will take effect in the 2009 year-end award season. This will be voted on by the board 30 days after it is mailed/e-mailed to all current members. This is the suggested amendment:
Article 8, Section 3, Paragraph 2 Amendment
To qualify for an NRRHA year-end award, a horse and rider combination must enter in that class at all NRRHA hosted show(s) for that year-end award season. Host shows and year-end qualifiers will be selected by the board and posted on the NRRHA website by April 1 on an annual basis.
Marie will e-mail all current members ASAP with the suggested amendment.
It was determined that our points system may need some revision. The WRHA has s very nice points system. We should send it to a committee to be revised and later voted on.
Dan motioned to send the points system revision to the previously mentioned Year End Points Committee.
Dane seconded the motion. Unanimously voted and approved.
Casey Richardson spoke about the Big Sky Classic Futurity and Derby. To be held in Kalispell on August 26-29. Earliest check in will be on Wednesday at 8am.
Year-end qualifing shows:
Dan made the motion that we should include the Big Sky Classic in Kalispell and the Sapphire Event Center August show as NRRHA year end award qualifying shows. Also to include the Sapphire Event Center August show as an NRRHA hosted show and also as an NRHA affiliate show if possible.
Patti seconded the motion. Unanimously voted and approved.
May Show Manager Report:
Show Manager – Rick Coyne
Judge- Greg Darnell
Secretary- Barbara Williams
Announcer- Julie Lazaro
Awards- Rainy Browning and Sue Coyne
Stall Manager- Dane Goeden
Food- to be determined (BBQ from open Sapphire show??)
It was the consensus of the board that the club doesn’t have enough volunteer resources to make the food concession a worthwhile undertaking and that the resources could be better put to use in other areas of the show. Patti reported that we made a very minimal profit on the food concessions at last years shows.
It was discussed that we would like to do a Silent auction at the May Reining in the Root show for fund-raising.
Dan will mail out sponsorship letters to those who bought sponsorships for the last show.
We spoke about the April 18 Schooling Show at Mooring Road Arena in Kalispell and hope people will support it. Also spoke about the NRHA Rookie Day and it was determined that we would probably not have the time or resources to host any more clinics this season.
By-Law review- tabled for now -- eventually need to be clearer (ie, definition of "family" for memberships),we need to get rid of the gray areas. Maybe needs to be reviewed by someone with law background. We need to appoint a By-law Committee and other committees as dictated by our current bylaws.
Some discussion about a "Fun Day" for reiners. Maybe a board meeting before or after...?
Motion to close meeting, Seconded and unanimously approved. 5:20pm

PHONE CONFERENCE
JANUARY 12, 2009
Present: Rick Coyne, Sue Coyne, Renee Pipinich, Patti Cusker, Holle Koehler, Dan Browning, Rainy Browning, Guests: Casey Richardson and Cheryl Ashe.
Rick Coyne called the meeting to order after guest Casey Richardson spoke in behalf of the MRHA. Casey Spoke in length about the proposed shows of the MRHA. About where and the cost of arenas available and sponsors. The Majestic has closed its doors and the Sapphire has no restrooms or showers, Great Falls may be too expensive for the way the economy is, and the stalls are very questionable. So thought was to have the stallion stakes futurity at Anderson's July 30th thru August 1 with maybe an extra day at this show then having a show later in August at the Sapphire. One of our concerns was the YRHA shows being Thursday, Friday and Saturday; this can be hard on the working folks. Tentative dates to send in after along with tentative location, will be finalized on 2/14/2009.
Treasurer’s Report: No Report.
Retraction/mark from last meeting minutes Sue Coyne is not show committee chair, there is no show committee chair.
July show was dropped from schedule.
New Business: Patti overwhelmed with duties of treasurer plus, doing memberships, emphasized need for help. Wrote up a list of duties for secretary, Affiliate forms and fees,affiliate approval forms need to be sent in. Patti still working on non profit status with a fee still owed, this tabled.
I, Laura stated that I was the note taker at meetings when the club first started. A Position on board is available to Replace A Jo Young along with the secretarial position. We will discuss delegating duties or get new secretary or appoint a secretary and move Laura to board position. Dan will put on web the need for a volunteer secretary. Rick has club secretarial duties list .This is tabled.
Show approval form needs to be sent in 90 days prior Patti will forward to Rick and Renee and they will send in.
Volunteers are club level volunteers and cannot be named as affiliate board of directors for NRHA. Dan and Rainy will not be NRHA directors but are club directors. Dan and Rainy are important to NRHA. They don't need to be NRHA members but just members of NRRHA.
Designated show dates May 1,2,3, 2009 at Sapphire Arena in the “Reiner” as tentative dates.
Year end awards:
3 shows or just the show we put on?
To be eligible for year end awards you must attend May 1,2,3 show. (not voted on)
We discussed using one of the Moses Lake shows as a qualifier and one of the MRHA show a qualifier.
The June 12-15 RHANW Moses Lake show has a small Derby. We will need to pay for rookie pro class. Renee motioned to attach to the June 12-15 RHANW show in Moses Lake WA as an affiliate qualifying show Rainy seconded. Motion passed. Renee will be the go between person for June show. We will need to send sponsor money to attach to this show and if we have to add classes we may need to pay for the awards. Rainy will contact YRHA ask about year end award classes and what we need to do to attach and if there are any forms we need to fill out find out how much sponsor money needs to be sent. July show will be put on back burner until end of month, Rainy will investigate.
Meeting adjourned.
