Sarah Bradley Reappointed as Interim Chair for Dressage Canada

Dressage Canada is pleased to announce that, at the request of the Dressage Canada Board, Sarah Bradley has been reappointed as the Chair of the Dressage Canada Board (DCB) by the Sport Council Working Group.

Bradley, of Roberts Creek, British Columbia, has been named as Chair until January 1, 2014. Bradley was first appointed Interim Chair in April 2012. Options for filling the Chair position for 2014 and beyond will be discussed at the Dressage Canada Board meeting in November. Decisions related to this will be announced after this meeting.

“I am thrilled to be able to continue working with the keen, dedicated group of current DCB members,” said Bradley. “I am honoured to be asked to continue as Chair, and look forward to the next 16 months.”

Bradley brings a wealth of experience to the position. In recent years, she has served as a Director on the Equine Canada Board, President of Horse Council BC, President of Horse Trials BC and Chair of Equine Canada Provinces Council. She is currently Chair of Equine Canada’s Bylaws and Governance Committee, which is undertaking a review of Equine Canada’s bylaws.

As of January 2013, Dressage Canada will enact its new governance system, a transition that began in early 2011, and will result in the Dressage Canada Board being wholly populated by the chairs of its various committees.
