At its first meeting following the 2008 EFA Annual General Meeting in Adelaide, the new Board elected Mary Seefried as the EFA's fist female National President.
At the AGM, former Chairman and President Geoff Sinclair and Director Alexi Kentish retired from their positions after completing their maximum of three terms on the National Board. They may restand for election after one year's break.
Branches had elected Graeme Bowker and Natalie Nichols earlier this year to take up their appointments after the 2008 EFA AGM.
Congratulations to Mary Seefried on her ground-breaking appointment and welcome to our two new Directors.
The Board and the Branch Chairs present at the AGM applauded the departing Directors for their hard work and achievements in the last five years.
During the AGM, the Branches also endorsed a change of name from 'Equestrian Federation of Australia' to 'Equestrian Australia' and enthusiastically received a new range of logos and other 'branding' presented by CEO Franz Venhaus. The name change and the new 'branding' will be in place by February 2009.
