2022 Member of the Year

Rita Moore!!

The ENYDCTA member of the year award is given to someone who is a non-board member that has given exceptional service to ENYDCTA.

Rita has devoted hours and hours to the club and has been an organizer for many of our events with her super organizational skills and involvement of others.  She shows support to every individual that she meets. She is like the club mom.

Her volunteer service goes beyond ENYDCTA. She has fostered many dogs through Homeward Bound and was very involved with a program for middle school students with the NASA STEP Program, introducing students to opportunities in science, math, and technology.

Rita is a retired librarian from the Schenectady city school system and picked up riding after her retirement and owns and rides a warmblood mare named Flower that she boards in Ballston Spa. ENYDCTA is fortunate to have her on our team of volunteers.

Congratulations Rita and thank you for your service!!!!

Nominate Someone for Member of Year!!

Introduction

The award is ENYDTCA’s way of recognizing an outstanding member that has given

exceptional service over the years to equine sports (does not have to be contiguous).   


Specifics

A panel of board members will review each nomination submitted, and decide upon one winner who will be announced at the annual banquet in November & receive a plaque.   The ENYDCTA Member of the Year Award can be awarded to one current member that is not an active board member.  Please do not hesitate to nominate yourself, there are many behind the scenes volunteers that are not in the spotlight with all they do in the equine community (let us know).  There is no obligation to make a selection of a winner in any year when there is not an appropriate candidate.   


Nominations are due no later than August 31st.
