Giving Tuesday: Better Than Holiday Shopping!
|
|
 As the frenzy of holiday shopping season commences, perhaps the best way of tackling the mayhem is by avoiding it. Miss the crowds, stay in your lounge pants the day after Thanksgiving and instead consider making a donation on Giving Tuesday to PATH Intl. Perhaps support the general operations of the association or consider donating to one of many funds in place to support member centers, such as the PATH Intl. Disaster Relief Fund, or participants, through the PATH Intl. EAAT Participant Assistance Fund. To learn about the funds or make a donation,
click here.
What is Giving Tuesday?
Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. Since its inaugural year in 2012, #GivingTuesday has become a movement that celebrates and supports giving and philanthropy with events throughout the year and a growing catalog of resources.

Center Members, Register for the Next EquestrianProfessional.com Webinar
|
|
As a PATH Intl. Member Center benefit, PATH Intl. brings to you another webinar through EquestrianProfessional.com, this time focused on marketing.
How to Create a Horse Business Marketing Plan
That Delivers Results
When: Nov. 27th, 6:30 p.m. MT
Topic: Marketing practices and strategies that deliver results
Duration: 30 - 40 minutes
Speaker: Elisabeth McMillan
This webinar will take you through a step-by-step process to help you develop a marketing plan that:
1. Is affordable
2. Is easy to implement
3. Attracts the right customers
4. Delivers sales results
The top reason why most marketing plans don't work is because they fail to deliver a good return on investment (ROI). Now-a-days with the role social media plays, your investment might be more time based than dollar based. However, it still needs to generate a return. If you want more results from your marketing efforts and investment, this webinar is for you.

Thank You, Region Leadership Teams!
|
|
Thank you to PATH Intl. Region Leadership Teams (RLT) for your amazing hard work!
As many of you know, PATH Intl. is organized into 11 regions; each region has its own region representative who leads a team consisting of a treasurer, communications chair and a state chair for every state in their region. During the fiscal year of July 2017-June 2018, these RLTs participated in over 350 outreach efforts. These efforts consisted of setting up PATH Intl. booths at local fairs and events to talking about PATH Intl. during presentations at local universities, and the list goes on. During the same time period RLTs also conducted 30 state meetings with 800+ attendees and participated in eight regional conferences with an additional 750+ attendees. All this outreach is accomplished by volunteers. These volunteers work tirelessly on behalf of PATH Intl., and we truly couldn't thank them enough.
To find out what region you're in and who your region representative is, head over to the My Region page on the PATH Intl. website.
