[RC] IntNewsGoup: Resolution of Athletes' Advisory Committee - Lori & Rick Stewart-----Original Message----- From: Elena Sandidge [mailto:ESandidge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2003 4:14 PM To: 'rkld.stewart@xxxxxxx' Subject: Resolution of Athletes' Advisory Committee Dear Fellow Athlete, ? At the January 17 meeting of the Athletes' Advisory Committee the following resolution was adopted.? We ask that you respond to this email indicating whether you do or do not support this resolution.? The Resolution with your responses will be sent to USA Equestrian, USET, and the USOC. ? USA Equestrian Athletes' Advisory Committee ? ? Resolution of USA Equestrian Athletes' Advisory Committee ? ?? The USA Equestrian Athletes' Advisory Committee unanimously passed a resolution on Jan 16, 2003, demanding that the NGB dispute for equestrian be resolved without further delay.? The negotiations between the USET and the USAE must resume immediately.? There can be no further reasons (real or perceived) for delaying the solution of the governance issues for the sport of equestrian.? The USOC must demand that a mediated solution must be presented to them by an agreed upon date near in the future.? ? The athletes are tired of being used as a negotiating tool and need to spend their time and effort on training and preparing for future competition and not focus on what lost opportunities there have been in the past six years.? The millions of dollars spent on this dispute are not only embarrassing for our supporters and the athletes but there have been huge lost opportunities for the development of our future athletes.? Though we are winning medals with most of our Olympic sports we are extremely worried that we are sacrificing the future due to lack of investment funds for our up and coming riders.? Our supporters and fans have to believe in our process, as of now our fans do not believe in the future of our sport. ? Our success has been born not only through the hard work of our athletes but also of the hundreds of volunteers that fill the committees charged with developing plans, selection procedures and training schedules.? The ongoing fiasco is insulting to their effort. ? These two organizations have worked in harmony for years and we know there is a way that both corporations can have a role in the future of the sport of equestrian.? This demand is directed to all three organizations involved: USAE, USET and the USOC. ? Give us our future back! ? ? Resolved by USA Equestrian Athletes' Advisory Committee, Lexington, Kentucky, June 16, 2003. ? Members present:? Chair, Ann Gribbons, Co-Vice Chair, David O'Connor, Isabelle Bibbler, Michelle Gibson, Karen O'Connor.? By phone: Robert Costello, Mark Leone, Chester Weber. -------------- Email and Attachments automatically scanned for viruses by Trend Micro's Scanmail for Exchange. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
