Lexington, KY (July 2, 2026) – The United States Dressage Federation™ (USDF) announced today the launch of its new Virtual Town Hall Series, created to provide another platform in which members can ask questions of experts and voice their opinions through this new direct channel to the national organization.

A variety of topics related to competition, education, awards, and many other areas of interest to our members will be covered over the course of the series, with each event featuring a panel of experts that will provide an introductory presentation on the topic, followed by the town hall question and answer portion, during which members can submit questions into a pool to be answered by the panel.

USDF Vice President Debra Reinhardt, who spearheaded this project said, “As I stepped into my new role as vice president, I knew that establishing a way to connect with and provide a voice to our members was going to be my first priority. As a show manager on the ground, I overhear comments and questions from our members that ultimately feel they don’t have a real way of discussing their questions or concerns with the ‘powers that be.’ This shined the spotlight on the need for a platform or channel that the membership can utilize to get information and provide feedback to the leadership and staff of their organization.”

The first USDF Virtual Town Hall is scheduled for Monday, July 13, 2026, at 8:00 PM EDT and will focus on the Great American/USDF Regional Dressage Championships. All members are encouraged to register to attend this in-depth discussion of one of USDF’s most popular championship programs.
