On March 13th in ‘s-Hertogenbosch CSI5*, there was a special ceremony. Alongside the top-level competitions, the event also included an important recognition for Willem Luiten (NED). Presented by, Stephan Ellenbruch (GER), Chairman of the FEI Jumping Committee, Glenn Maes (BEL), President of the International Jumping Officials Club (IJOC) and Laura van de Graaf (NED) IJOC Board Treasurer, the “IJOC Award” was given to Willem Luiten for his outstanding contribution to the IJOC as well as the equestrian sport in jumping.
Following his presidential election in the IJOC in 2018, Willem focused on key areas for the development of the Club. “President’s Blog” as he called it was his invention to develop communication with members. To this day, the tradition continues. Bringing the positive engagement, The Club propelled to a wider member network, developed active collaboration with the FEI and has become a stronger advocate of the FEI Jumping Officials.
This year is the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the Pan American Equestrian Confederation (PAEC), an FEI Continental Association composed of 31 NFs.
In recognition of this milestone anniversary, key FEI show jumping and education leaders will be in Wellington. One of the objectives is to host a meeting on March 4with FEI Judges and Stewards to explain the current education system, listen to concerns and to answer questions.
The FEI will be represented by the President Ingmar de Vos, the Secretary General Sabrina Ibáñez, Chairman of the Jumping Committee Stephan Ellenbruch, Managing Director of the Show Jumping Department Marco Fuste and the Managing Director of Education Frank Spadinger.
It is understood that it will be difficult for many FEI/IJOC officials to travel and participate in the meeting which will be recorded and shown at a later date. To accommodate this situation, please email on ericlstraus@gmail.com your questions or comments to myself at the following address and they will be provided to the FEI representatives.
