CQHA Virtual own Hall / Affiliate Engagement and Transition Task Force – FAQ
- What is the purpose of the Task Force?
The CQHA Affiliate Engagement and Transition Task Force was created to explore how the Canadian Quarter Horse Association and its provincial affiliates can work together more effectively to strengthen Quarter Horse programs and member engagement across Canada.
The Task Force’s goal is to identify opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and sustainability within the Canadian Quarter Horse community. Its work includes gathering input from members, affiliates, and industry partners to help design a stronger and more coordinated future for our shared programs and events. - What is the purpose of the Town Hall sessions?
The Town Halls are an opportunity for members, provincial affiliates, and other stakeholders to share their experiences, ideas, and priorities directly with the Task Force.
Each session will include a short presentation introducing the Task Force’s work, followed by open discussion and guided questions. Your input will help ensure the recommendations developed reflect real experiences and needs from across the country. - What is the design thinking approach being used?
Design thinking is a collaborative, people-centred approach to problem-solving. It focuses on understanding experiences, defining needs, generating ideas, and testing solutions through feedback and iteration.
In this process, every voice matters. The Task Force is not starting with fixed answers but instead building understanding through conversation, empathy, and creativity. The goal is to co-create practical recommendations that reflect the diversity and strength of Canada’s Quarter Horse community. - How will the feedback from these Town Halls be used?
All input collected through the Town Halls and surveys will be summarized and shared with the CQHA Board of Directors. It will inform the Task Force’s recommendations and help guide future planning, programs, and partnerships across Canada. - Who can attend?
Anyone involved or interested in the Canadian Quarter Horse industry is welcome—members, provincial affiliates, youth, amateurs, professionals, show organizers, and enthusiasts. The broader and more diverse the input, the better the outcomes will be for everyone.
