Youth Election Biographies Kenzie Perry, Continued Are you involved in any other horse-related organizations? “I am the reporter for EOQHA and I have written for their website.” Please describe what you will contribute to OQHYA, if elected: “If elected, I will do my best to get others involved. I will contribute ideas for walk-in/stall decoration for the 2011 Youth World Show. I also would like to come up with fundraiser ideas that we can do at shows to raise money for our youth.” What do you feel should be OQHYA’s top three priorities in the next 2-3 years? “1. Go to any benefits/horse shows that need help raising money. 2. Make sure ALL Ohio youth are knowledgable about state/national qualifying (for many years I was uneducated about state qualifying). This is likely to get more youth involved. 3. Get more youth involved in AQHA showing.”
