Interview with founding member Bill Chambers
FOUNDING PERSPECTIVE
In 2018, when I stepped into the role of Facility Director for the National Equestrian Center in St. Louis, the League was my lifeline to mentors with far more experience and insight into venue management than I had as a previous horse show manager and event official. They knew my struggles, had already faced my challenges and had a well-spring of suggestions and solutions I was welcome to make my own. The League was invaluable to me as they willingly and graciously handed to me practical wisdom alongside well wishes and the open invitation to reach out again any time.

Dana Jensen
Former Facility Director, League Executive Administrator
Even as a "newbie" to the League with far fewer years of experience than many of my fellow members, I was welcomed into a relaxed social environment that included professionals who often had thirty decades or more of career knowledge and skill. It did not take me long to get to know many friendly faces, building relationships and ultimately a network of peers that I can call, email or text for advice any time I encounter a challenging situation. Symposium is amazing every year, and I always return home with a refreshed mindset and the inspiration to take our venue to the next level.
