We Can Help You & Your Facility Now

Education is a core value of The League. We offer a comprehensive education series for facility directors covering regulatory, judicial, insurance, human resources, maintenance, environment, financial and marketing expertise.

•       Our ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM. The League’s Annual Symposium brings together facility directors and their respective staff from all over North America to discuss various educational topics in a structured and scheduled three-day presentation with round-table discussion format.
•        Our CERTIFICATION PROGRAM. In conjunction with Middle Tennessee State University, the League proudly offers the industry’s only facility director certification program. The Certified Manager of Equine Centers (CMEC) is a program that recognizes directors who  have attained the highest levels of standards in the profession of equine facility management.
•       Our FOOTING ACADEMY. The League’s Footing Academy offers enrollment twice yearly for hands-on instruction geared toward facility directors and staff to learn the basics and particulars of creating and maintaining optimal arena footing. Our Academy has designed two curriculums, the FA101 – Introduction to Footing that acquaints individuals with the basic principles of ideal footing and its development and the Advanced Footing Academy that builds on the FA101 principles to deepen, expand and apply each individuals’ knowledge and active skillset as required for addressing particular arenas with varying conditions and rider-needs.
