Dear ETI members,

 

 

After many discussions with LAEC and Southwest Show Management, the decision has been made to not hold Convention this year. We still have every intention of holding Convention again next year at LAEC, however due to the need of many additional volunteers to comply with Covid procedures we recognize we don’t have the volunteer base needed to run the show AND Covid check in procedures required by LA County and LAEC. In addition, there is still the possibility of LAEC having to close due to Covid at any time and we, the National Board, do not feel it is financially prudent to plan for Convention when it could be cancelled at any time. We are very disappointed to have to do this and are looking into options for another ETI National event this year. Many of our corrals are now holding rides and shows and we encourage you to participate in these events to keep ETI moving forward through these times. Thank you for your understanding and support of ETI!
