Operations support

We also have some familiar faces returning to the office to assist with supporting members and EV operations. 

Sue McKay who many will know from her events management involvement, will be providing part time support to EV operations.  Sue has an extensive events management background, having had a long involvement with the Melbourne International 3DE, DJWTS and key show horse events such as The Nationals & Barastoc, and she is also part of the team that delivers EQUITANA.  

We are also thrilled to welcome Emilie Van Sonsbeek back to the office part time.  Emilie has a strong association with the show jumping discipline, and in 2022 will be completing her final year of law school.  She will be assisting with the inter school program over the university break and leading into the event. 

We are pleased that Jan Smith, who is well known to the EV community and a librarian by training, will be coordinating the Off The Track program.  Jan is, amongst other things, a dressage coach and coach skills assessor and is heavily involved in the discipline of Dressage.  She also oversees the EA swabbing program in Victoria. 

Verity, Jan, Emilie and Sue will be a great asset to our team, and to assisting members, and we welcome them on board.
