I AM A... Board Member Deb Kirsch

I am a Board member and I am involved in whatever is needed at the time: from instruction, to organizing, to being an officer. I enjoy my role as a Board member because I got so much out of Pony Club when I was a kid - it truly shaped who I am today - and I want to help create that opportunity for others. I enjoy being a leader because I get to work with amazing, dedicated people from around the country.

Lisa Evans

I am a past Board member and current Chair of the Advisory Committee. Growing up with horses, I appreciate the hard work and support so many young riders require to develop and test their skills as equestrians. As a banking professional, I also appreciate the significant impact great instructors and mentors can make to develop the skills of young leaders. Community involvement is important to me as an expression of gratitude, a way of giving back. I enjoy being a leader in Pony Club because I feel good knowing my efforts are helping to advance the mission of the organization and provide much-needed support and programming for members. More importantly, I feel good knowing positive experiences such as those gained in Pony Club can open doors to self-discovery and give members and volunteers a sense of their own potential and a base from which we all continue to learn, grow and succeed.
