Become a Club Officer!
Clubs such as CWPC are administered by a District Commissioner (DC) and other volunteer officers, operating under the guidance and support of Club Sponsors.
The District Commissioner serves as the Club’s chief administrator and is responsible for overseeing and managing all club operations. The DC may be supported by one or more Joint District Commissioners (Jt-DCs), who assist with designated duties and areas of responsibility.
To support a clear understanding of officer roles and expectations, expanded job descriptions are available on the United States Pony Clubs (USPC) website, including those for District Commissioner, Club Secretary, and Club Treasurer. CWPC also utilizes Joint District Commissioners, who do not have a formal job description but work closely with the DC on assigned tasks as needed.
Each year, the District Commissioner nominates three to five Club Sponsors to serve on a Nominating Committee. From these nominations, the Club Sponsors elect the Committee, which is responsible for developing a slate of officers for the upcoming year. This slate is presented at the annual Sponsors Meeting. The Sponsors vote on the Secretary and Treasurer nominees and also vote to recommend the District Commissioner and Joint District Commissioner candidates for appointment by the VRPC Regional Supervisor.
Individuals interested in participating on the CWPC board are encouraged to contact the Club Secretary at secretarycwpc@gmail.com.
Formal job descriptions and officer responsibilities are outlined in Article II of the USPC By-Laws and Policies, with additional guidance provided in the USPC Policies.
