  • ABRA Board Members

    ABRA has a Board of Directors that are responsible for transacting the general business of the Association, electing officers, adopting and enforcing rules as well as putting on the shows.  This is a group of volunteers that spend countless hours at our shows and behind the scenes.  A group with assorted viewpoints and opinions that can respectfully discuss issues is ideal.  Please nominate anyone that could contribute their time and efforts, including yourself if willing. Those listed served in 2025, but we need additional directors that can actively engage with the organization.

    We encourage everyone to get involved, even if they can't commit to serving on the board!  Our organization is only as good as it's members and their support group.
