In the wake of news that U.S. Equestrian Federation CEO Bill Moroney will retire at the end of the year after a decade in the post, the organization stated Tuesday that it is “committed to a thorough and deliberate search” for his successor.
A search committee of directors across a range of breeds and disciplines has been designated to reflect the perspectives of the federation’s community is reflected. The committee is in discussion with several nationally recognized executive search firms and will select a professional partner to support the search. The process will include feedback from a diverse cross-section of membership including amateur athletes, trainers and affiliate leadership, among others, to help define the priorities and qualities that matter most in the next leader.
When the search partner is selected, the firm will establish a process for interested individuals to submit a letter of interest for the search team’s review. USEF will share those details in a follow-up communication. When the committee completes its work, it will bring its recommendation to the Board of Directors, which will make the final decision.
