Zac Acott has been appointed as the new CEO for EWA. He has a Bachelor of Commerce (Sports Management and Marketing) degree from Curtin University. He is a positive, energetic and driven individual.
Zac’s first role after university, in 2012, was as Development Officer for Canoeing WA. The organisation had around 3,000 members, with funding coming predominantly from government grants as well as membership.
In 2014, Zac was offered the opportunity to join the Fremantle Dockers. Over the next four years he gained broad experience in a variety of areas that included membership, marketing communications as well as operations. In his final role, he reported to the Membership Manager, leading a team of seven staff.

SHOW HORSE TRIPLE CASH BONANZA & SPOT PRIZES
Following on from the popularity of these two initiatives last year, the Show Horse Committee will again be conducting the Triple Cash Bonanza and Spot Prizes at its shows in 2022.
The Triple Cash Bonanza is a random draw for a prize pool of $1,000 for all eligible EWA members. To be eligible for the Triple Cash Bonanza you must attend and compete at the Autumn Pageant, the Winter Gala and Horse and Rider of the Year. Please note that competing in a Newcomer event does not qualify as not everyone has a Newcomer.
You are eligible if you own any horse or pony which has competed at all three shows. It does not have to be the same horse or pony. You are eligible if you ride and compete at all three shows even if you do not ride your own horse or pony. Your name will go into the random draw at the Show Horse Awards function to be held provisionally in November and you could win the top prize of $500, or one of four prizes of $125. Come along and support all our shows to be in with a chance for this great prize draw.
The random draw for Spot Prizes at the three shows last year was also a popular concept. One of our Committee members prepares these and they are drawn on the day of the show. Listen to the public announcements and you could be the lucky winner.
