April 2008

What would happen if a top expert with more than thirty years of leadership and training

experience were willing to distill everything they had learned about leadership and the

equine industry into a handful of life-changing principles just for PHBA? It would

change our lives.

Brent Harnish our new Executive Director, is planning on doing exactly that, his plans

include combining his insights learned from his leadership successes and rapport building

skills, and combining them with his observations from the equine world. The results as

they are accomplished will be delivered to all of you as only a communicator like Brent

can.

We are on the threshold of some very promising developments at PHBA and we are

poised for success. We plan on bringing to you the members and affiliate leaders,

increased visibility of our association, as well as to our friends throughout the equine

industry. Our charge will include the promotion of our many programs as well as

introducing some new concepts that will encourage members and affiliates to become

more actively involved in our association.

Brent brings to PHBA a treasure chest full of insight on key principles that will assist us

as we continue to position PHBA with the equine industry, utilizing many of the

strategies laid out in our 2007 Strategic Plan and feedback received from you, the

members, through our member survey.

We are delighted that Brent has chosen to join the family that we know as the PHBA. He

is only a phone call away and ready to provide counsel and leadership as needed.

Brent’s sensitivity, his insight into human nature, will blend to bring both a practical

functionality and a value-based integrity to all the work he and the staff in Tulsa will

bring to PHBA.

His leadership ideas are masterful because his life and thoughts are Master-full. Please

help me welcome Brent to Palomino Horse Breeders of America.

Keep Smilin’…
