The TRBA Board of Directors is delighted to announce the appointment of Jennifer Schimpf as the new Sweepstakes point keeper, effective July 1, 2023.  The Board is still working on getting her access to the previous show data.  In the meantime, Jennifer is diligently reviewing the list of sanctioned shows and actively gathering show reports for about 150 reports for the first half of the year, so she can validate the data for the current year.  She may be contacting show secretaries to collect these reports, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

 

Jennifer has made a goal to have the sweepstakes updated by Mid-September.  She asks that you please wait until the new standings are available before contacting her on individual points totals.  We kindly request your cooperation during this transition period.

 

Moving forward, the contact address for Show Sectrtarys to report show results and to ask questions related to sweepstakes is SWEEPS@TRBA.NET

 

We extend our gratitude to Jennifer for taking on this vital role and ask for your patience as she settles into her position.
