From Your Nebraska Staff

Letter to Nebraska GWTA Members

There has been quite a change in GWTA directorship since Gold Rush in Fort Collins, CO in July. We now have a new Executive Director replacing Bruce Keenon, who served GWTA in that position for 19 years. Judy Schaefer, from Illinois, has been given that appointment. We all know Judy did a wonderful job as our very own Regional C Director. With support from GWTA members, Judy will do a fantastic job as Executive Director.

We now have new Region C Directors, Jack and Joyce May from Illinois. They have been GWTA members for many years and have always been very active in the organization. We fill certain they will do an outstanding job in carrying on Judy’s enthusiasm for the organization.

Nebraska now has new State Directors. Peggy Hakanson has stepped down as Nebraska State Director. We thank Peggy for her service to our organization and look forward her continued support in the
future of GWTA. Nebraska’s newly appointed State Directors are Mel and Linda Vogt.

Let us introduce ourselves. We joined GWTA in August 2010. We have met so many wonderful people and have had so many great times with the GWTA members. It is true our GWTA friends have become our family. Mel served as Chapter Z Director for one and a half years and was Nebraska State Rider Education Director for about four years. We were the National Family of the Year 2013/2014. I was Chapter Z Director for two years and the Region C Treasurer for 3 years. I will be stepping down from that position so Mel and I can fulfill the position of Nebraska State Directors.

We look forward to many more great times and to working with each of you building relationships and friendships that will continue for many years to come.

Mel & Linda
