National Committees for MFTHBA

National committees play a vital role in the work of the Missouri Fox Trotting Horse Breed Association, providing members with opportunities to engage in the Association’s administration, direction, and continued success. Through committee service, members contribute their knowledge, experience, and ideas to support programs, events, rules, and initiatives that advance the breed and serve the membership. Committees are a cornerstone of member involvement and help ensure that the MFTHBA remains a member-driven organization guided by collaboration and shared purpose. Below is the general listing of MFTHBA standing and ad hoc committees, including the current committee chairpersons and Board of Directors representatives. This list is provided for reference and reflects the Association’s commitment to member-led governance and collaboration.

Members can find chairman contact information, current committee membership lists, and committee reports submitted to the Board of Directors through the MFTHBA Member Portal.  Members interested in serving on a committee are encouraged to contact the MFTHBA office for additional details.
