Meet Your New NODA Newsletter Associate Editors

All good things must come to an end and with
the August, 2011 issue of the NODA Newsletter, Editor
Niki Sackman hung up her editor’s hat. Niki steered
the newsletter to accolades and national awards, so her
shoes will not be easy to fill, but Elizabeth Bross

and Mosie Welch (right)
will be giving it a try. As Associate
Editors they will be sharing responsibilities for
getting the news-letter out to you each month.
Newsletter layout will now be
coordinated by Elizabeth Bross. Elizabeth has
been involved with NODA for about a year and is eager to
contribute to the organization’s success. She lives in
Erie, PA where she works as an assistant director of
admissions at Mercyhurst College. Her evenings and
weekends are spent at Three Point Farm where she boards
her mare, Poverty Hill Lilly (Lilly). Elizabeth and
Lilly are currently competing at 2nd level and have a
developed a love for trail riding this summer.
Among other aspects of publication,
Mosie Welch will be responsible for coordinating
advertising and classifieds for the newsletter. A member
of NODA for about a decade, Mosie has dabbled in
tabulating, equipment check, scribing, and writing
articles for the newsletter. Her current dressage
partner is a 6 year old Friesian mare, Sietske, boarded
at Shade Tree Farm. At home are husband Denis and a
Black Standard poodle, Supai. When not at the barn you
can find Mosie hiking, playing and singing bluegrass
music, or gardening.
Your new NODA Associate Editors ask
for your help and patience as they become familiar with
what goes into publishing NODA’s newsletter. Please
remember all submissions including ad copy, classifieds,
and articles must be submitted by the 15th of the month
in order to be included in the newsletter coming out the
following month. You can also help maintain the high
quality content by submitting articles which highlight
an aspect of training, a piece of equipment, a treatment
modality, or your unique experience of interest to other
dressage riders. Elizabeth and Mosie look
forward to getting to know you in the coming months.
