During the AGM, we will present the Society’s annual report, announce the results of Council elections, and hear from ISES members sharing their experiences around this year’s theme:
“Conversations That Changed Things”
These short presentations will explore the conversations and experiences that brought members to equitation science and reshaped their practice, research, or professional understanding.
The meeting agenda, nomination details, and information regarding vacant Council positions can be found below.
VOTING INFORMATION
Voting eligibility varies by membership type. Academic and Council Members may vote in all Council elections, while Associate, Practitioner, and Student Members may only vote for their respective representative positions. Supporter and Corporate Members do not have voting rights. Members can find full voting details and instructions in recent emails.
Current ISES members in good standing may nominate another eligible member for open Council roles via the nomination form. Open positions for 2026–2030 are Development Officer, Information Manager, and Student Representative. Council members are expected to attend bi-monthly meetings and contribute to committees and projects.
 “CONVERSATIONS THAT CHANGED THINGS”
