American Horse Publications presents 2008 AHP Champion Awards to two Past Presidents and former Executive Directors
 

In 2007, American Horse Publications created the AHP Champion Award which is presented to individuals who are instrumental in the development and growth of the association. Collectively, the winners are known as the AHP Circle of Champions. Each recipient receives a commemorative pin, individual plaque, and their names honored online at the AHP web site.

The Executive Committee presented its recommendations for nominees at its February 2008 meeting, where the Board approved awarding the 2008 AHP Champion Award to the two individuals who were the only AHP Presidents who were elected to two terms and also served as AHP Executive Directors.

The 2008 AHP Champion Award was announced at the AHP Break from the Gate in 2008 Seminar in Saratoga Springs, New York, on June 21, 2008, during the annual Awards Banquet. There are few among the current membership who will have known the two inductees. Fortunately, attendees at the AHP seminar in Saratoga had a chance to meet one of them, Tony Chamblin, who accepted his award personally.
