Taryl O'Shea • AHA Six Month Update: Listening First & Building Forward

Six months into her role as CEO of the Arabian Horse Association, Taryl O’Shea joins host Paul Kostial for an open update on what she has learned, what is already changing and what comes next.

Taryl discusses her early priorities of listening to staff, committees and members, reviewing AHA’s business operations and improving the member experience.

She also shares results from the We Want You Back campaign, the You Belong initiative, expanded opportunities beyond the show ring and renewed collaboration throughout the Arabian horse community.

Looking toward 2027, Taryl outlines a growing focus on breeders, improved technology, new participation opportunities and an AHA that is easier to belong to, easier to work with and welcoming to everyone who loves the Arabian horse.
