How Much Work Is Involved?

 

We’re excited to invite members to consider joining the NFHA Board!   Your expertise and feedback are crucial as we work to promote and educate others about the Norwegian Fjord horse. As a board member, you’ll help steer our new organization, attending monthly Zoom meetings (with one quarterly meeting with the membership) and contributing 3 to 5 hours a month to board and committee work. We value diverse opinions and foster a collegial environment. Please note, it’s a 3-year commitment.
