Your IDS Board of Directors recently held a planning meeting to determine strategic direction for our club in 2010. We have great opportunities this year for continued education, quality schooling and USDF/USEF sponsored shows and, as always, ways to join the fun through volunteering at our events.  Please click on the following icons for a few pictures from the day and a chance to get to know your officers and directors.

Welcome IDS members and others interested in learning more about our club.  In 2008 the IDS Officers and Directors voted to conduct a survey in order to better understand the demographics and equestrian related interests of our members.  Denise Driscoll, accepted the challenge of leading the effort and I would personally like to thank her and her committee for the outstanding accomplishment.  The IDS Officers and Directors have already begun to utilize the information gleaned from the survey to  enhance the programs and benefits the club has to offer its members.   The full survey is quite large but we strongly believed that the results in its entirety should be made available. Using the Web site was the most logical means of making this large report available.   Please click on the icon to access the full report.        

 Best regards and good reading

 Ken Levy
President, Indiana Dressage Society
