From the AQHA Executive Committee:
Effective Friday, March 6, Karl Stressman is no longer employed by AQHA. Incoming CEO Dave Dellin has assumed all duties and responsibilities as chief executive officer.
We thank Karl for his years of service and wish him well.
Dave will continue working with the AQHA Executive Committee, AQHA staff, the AQHA Board of Directors and many others to move the organization forward and advance the priorities outlined in our Strategic Operating Plan.
Our relationships and partnerships are extremely important to AQHA. We greatly appreciate your support of the programs designed to better the lives of American Quarter Horses and the people who ride and love them.
You can have confidence that AQHA remains focused on serving our members, supporting the industry and ensuring a strong future for the American Quarter Horse. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to continuing our work together.
Thank you,
Jeff Tebow
AQHA President
