Membership FAQ
What are the new expiration
dates for membership?
A membership expires
the following year on the last day of the month in
which a member joined. For example, if an individual
joins AHA on March 8, 2007, that membership expires
March 31, 2008.
Who will need to purchase a Competition
Card?
The AHA Competition
Card is required for individual members (adult and
youth) who compete, members who own horses that
compete, and officials who officiate at recognized
AHA events or members who participate in AHA award
programs. This includes AHA recognized shows and
endurance and competitive trail rides. The
competition card is also available to those who want
to take advantage of the AHA Excess Personal
Liability Insurance program. This insurance benefit
is available to only those individuals who hold an
AHA competition card.
How does the Competition Card work?
Competition Cards
will be issued to individual members ONLY. The
Competition Card may be purchased at the same time
as membership or anytime within the anniversary
year; however, the competition card will expire at
the same time as a membership. For example, if you
become a member on January 5, and don't purchase a
Competition Card until February 18, the Competition
Card will expire on January 31, just like the
membership card. You cannot purchase a Competition
Card without a membership.
Do I need a Competition Card to be a club
officer or delegate?
No. You must pay your
AHA dues as an individual Adult Member and pay the
local club dues. An AHA individual Adult Member
whose name appears on a membership list of a Member
Organization is granted the rights to:
- Vote in his/her
Member Organization
- Be counted
towards the delegation strength of that Member
Organization
- Have the
opportunity to be a Voting Delegate at the Annual
Convention
Who can join online?
Individuals may
transact the following business online:
Join AHA
- Join a club
(Linked Clubs Only)
- Purchase a
Competition Card
How many delegates will my club be able
to send to Convention?
Delegates for a club
will be determined based on the number of paid AHA
Adult Individual Members affiliated with that club
whose dues have been received in the AHA office as
of June 30th each year. For example, a member pays
dues on July 15th. That member will be counted
toward the next year's delegate count.
