EA Dressage Committee Appointments

Following the recent National Disciple Committee Election for Dressage, which took place as per the EA National Discipline Appointment and Procedures Policy, Equestrian Australia (EA) is pleased to welcome back Virginia Creed (VIC) for a third consecutive term of two years and new member, Maria Schwennesen (QLD), for a three-year term to the Dressage Committee (EADC).

The EA Dressage Officials Committee (EADOC) also welcomes new members, the EADC re-appointing Kim Thomas (WA) for a second three-year term and new members Elizabeth Coe (QLD) and Polly Ann Huntington (WA). 

The EADOC member composition has also undergone change to ensure we address the development and progression of all officials in our sport.  

The appointment of Dressage Steward General, Cathie Drury Klein, and co-opted members, Deborah MacNicol (Dressage Technical Delegate), along with Lee Howells (EADOC Committee Secretary), brings more specialist skills on board.  

On behalf of the EA Dressage Community, the EADC wish to thank both Kerrie Swan-Bates (outgoing EADOC Chair) and Jane Ventura for their dedication during their terms - their contribution is very much appreciated.

It is pleasing to see the calibre of volunteers we have working on our committees, and we sincerely value the work, knowledge and experience all our current and past members provide to our sport.
