Dear AHP Members,

This issue marks a change for the AHP newsletter. For two years, the newsletter has been contracted to Jeremy Law and Kim Kulers of 360 Marketing Solutions.
 
This editor/design team has done a great job in providing an innovative and newsworthy communication tool for our members in a format that could be viewed online or printed as a PDF.
 
Today, many of us get our news in multiple formats. The AHP web site is one of the best communication tools and resources that the association has for providing news to our members.
 
In the next few weeks as we countdown to the AHP 40th Anniversary Seminar in Lexington, the newsletter will be sent to you as an e-mail message with links to the information you wish to explore or bookmark at the AHP site, www.americanhorsepubs.org.
 
The Board will evaluate this method of distributing the newsletter at its meeting in June. In the meantime, we hope you will let us know how receiving AHP news works for you in this format and if you have any ideas or suggestions for the type of information you would like included in the monthly newsletter.
 
This is a new endeavor for me, so I hope you enjoy my efforts.
 
I look forward to seeing many of you in Lexington!
 
Best wishes,
 
Chris
AHP Executive Director
