Member of the Month: Lena Dubensky
|

Lena Dubensky from The Right Step, Inc., a PATH Intl. Premier Accredited Center in Littleton, CO, is December's second member of the month!
Lena first joined PATH Intl. in 2006 when she became an instructor. (Lena now has her PATH Intl. Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor credential as well as being certified as an ESMHL!) "Therapeutic riding has been a part of my life since I was a child because my mom started a program. I wanted to become a member as soon as I was able!" She literally grew up in the therapeutic riding and EAAT space!

Center Membership Renewal Reminder
|
|
If you are a center member and you haven't renewed your membership, please remember that you must renew by JANUARY 15, 2020 to avoid the $60 late fee.
It's easier than ever to renew online. Here are some tips and tricks for a smooth online renewal process:
- The primary contact has access to the center account information by logging in to the member portal with their personal email address and password.
- To update the center profile, statistics and compliance information, including reporting on operating budget for the correct dues amount, click on the "Center Profile" tab and select the "Center Personnel and Statistics" form. The entire renewal booklet, including the credentialed professional and medical professional report, can be entered here. Click "next" to review/update each section and at the last section click "submit." The information will not be saved until the submit button is pressed; if you need to leave and come back later, click on the submit button to save your progress.
- To create your online dues order to pay, go to the "Subscriptions" link found on the left hand side of your profile page. From there, hover your mouse pointer over the green status box and it will change to a renew button. Click renew, and then go to your cart to see the final dues amount based on your budget size. Follow the prompts to check out and pay. Credit cards and ACH are accepted.
If you have questions, contact Karen Province at
[email protected], or call (800) 369-7433, ext. 103.

There has been some concern among members that PATH Intl. may have 'sold' member emails to Abenity. That is not the case. PATH Intl. is offering a new member benefit to PATH Intl. members through Abenity. In order for PATH Intl. members to receive the information necessary to access the benefit we provided Abenity with member emails. Abenity cannot legally sell PATH Intl. member emails; they have them only to provide members with the perks benefit. If you prefer to opt out of the Perks program, every email from Abenity contains an "unsubscribe" button at the bottom. Simply click to opt-out.
If you have any questions please contact

Funding Opportunities Through EQUUS Foundation
|
|
The EQUUS Foundation Funding program primarily consists of its Transparency Awards.
The purpose of the Transparency Awards is to encourage equine organizations to be transparent and accountable to the public through the disclosure of their equine care practices and to reward equine organizations that are operating at the highest standards for horse care.
Transparency Awards range from $500 to $5,000 and are used to underwrite the costs associated with the care of horses, such as veterinary, dental, and farrier care, horse feed, supplements, bedding, horse gear, equipment, and supplies as well as alternative treatments and interventions.
Only organizations that have received the
Guardian Seal of Transparency in 2020 are eligible to receive Transparency Awards in 2020. The Guardian information serves as the grant application. Submission of a separate grant application is not required.
