Please contact Shannon at the OFATV office for further details or if you are interested in providing an article featuring your area.
Bruce Murphy, President of OFATV challenged the Board of Directors to engage themselves with the local clubs more. Many of our members report that they have little knowledge of what is happening at the OFATV. Bruce indicated that an easy way to resolve this concern is to make sure that the Directors are speaking directly to each Club Executive and their members. Moving forward during each board of directors meetings, each director will provide a quick brief of what is going on within their appointed district.
The OFATV is seeking someone with a marketing background to assist with articles for Go Riding magazine
