2024 Director Election

Earlier this year, nominations were invited for the position of BD Youth Director, and we can now announce the candidate put forward to the membership for election.

Hannah Moody was appointed as interim BD Youth Director in October 2023 and was eligible to be nominated for election for an initial four-year term. With no further candidates proposed, and following approval by the Nominations Committee, Hannah is now being put forward to the membership for ratification, in accordance with the Memorandum & Articles of British Dressage.

As there is just a single candidate nominated for the BD Youth Director role, you will be asked for a simple “yes” or “no” vote to indicate your preference.

The election result will be announced in September 2024 and any appointment will be effective from the date of the next British Dressage Annual General Meeting, scheduled to take place on Thursday 24 October. If the candidate does not receive sufficient support from a majority of members, the Board will be required to make another interim appointment and the post will be advertised again for election in 2025.
