First Annual Gypsy Horse
Breeders and Owners Meeting
April 8-9, 2003 - Columbus Ohio

 

NAME OF THE ORGANIZATION

In order to have a foundation set in place before the meeting, a name for the organization must be established prior to the meeting.  All other details (standards, by-laws, articles, etc) can be decided upon or changed at the meeting, but the name isn't easy to change (although not impossible; this too will be voted on with the new membership and board of directors).  Because we have to have a name to begin the paperwork with, we first accepted nominations for the name, and are now accepting votes on those nominated names. 

In order to  vote for a name, you must include your name, address, phone, and e-mail address, so that each person can only vote once.  You may be contacted to verify your nomination/vote.  (All results of nominations and votes will be available for audit by any person requesting this information).

NEWS:  Due to some changes in the legal way the association is being set up, it won't be nearly as difficult or costly to change the name of the association now.  This means that although we have to choose a name to use for the initial set up of the registry, that we can relatively easily change it at the meeting in April.  At that time, the members will vote to keep or change the name.  So, cast your vote, but don't worry, it's not "set in stone".

Jan 23, 2003.  Voting on a name of the association was a huge success here are the results. 

Voting is closed Jan, 22, 2003, 12:00 AM, EST.  Thanks to everyone for their participation.  Here are the results:
Total votes: 88

Gypsy Horse Society of America- 23 (WINNER)
American Gypsy Horse Association-18
Intl. Assoc. of Gypsy and Drum Horses-13
Gypsy Cob and Drum Horse Association-9
Gypsy Horse Association of America-7
Gypsy Horse Assoc. of North America-7
The Romany Folk Horse Assoc. of North Amer.-4
North American Gypsy Horse Association-3
North American Gypsy Draught Horse Assoc.-1
Gypsy Horse Registry of (North) America-1
Irish Cob Horses North America-1
The National Gypsy Horse Society of Amer.-1

NOTE:  Although we had initially  intended to hold a "run off" vote, to be sure that the people who voted for the lesser-chosen names still got a "say", we have decided to hold off on that.  Now that our attorney has informed us that the name can easily be changed after the meeting in April, we will just go with the top-voted name to save some time.  It will be finalized and voted upon again at the meeting!  Absentee votes will be taken from members at this time as well, details to follow.
