I AM A... NYB MEMBER I AM A... National Youth Board Member

Jessica F.

I am a C-2/H-B member of the Woodside Pony Club in the Middle California Region, and I am currently the advisor of the National Youth Board (NYB). Prior to that I was Chair and Vice Chair the previous two years. My time on the NYB has been phenomenal. I have learned so much about my own passions in the USPC as well as the work and real behind-the-scenes aspect of all that goes into the USPC that as a previous Upper Level member I did not always appreciate. I have always loved being super involved, whether that be in a competitive aspect through Show Jumping or Tetrathlon, or a leadership and mentoring role. However, being on the NYB allowed me to take that passion of creativity and leadership further, especially with the amazing opportunity to sit on the Board of Governors and play an active role in committees such as Marketing and Communications, Development, and Strategic Planning in my two years sitting on the BOG. I am forever grateful for my time on the NYB and BOG and all those that have been a part of it.

I am an H-B/C-1 Eventing member from the Mill Creek Pony Club in the Midwest Region. As a member of the National Youth Board I serve on the Regional Youth Board/Club Leadership committee and the Upper Level Member Affairs committee. As a member of the NYB I also get the pleasure of sitting in on the Horse Management Instruction Committee meetings. Being on the NYB is super cool because I get to see the behind the scenes of USPC and work with other Pony Club members to bring new ideas and initiatives into reality that I have always been passionate about.
