The USPA Spring Committee, Board of Governors and Annual Member Meeting provides USPA members with the opportunity to audit committees and become more involved with the governance and future direction of the Association. Providing an optimal setting to network with clubs across the country, the Spring Meeting is a forum for members to share opinions, ask questions and receive advice. The USPA encourages members to represent the interests of their club and participate in meetings and connect with Circuit Governors and USPA staff.
In addition to the meetings, events over the week include the U.S. Open Polo Championship semifinals and final, the Chairman’s Reception, USPA Member Lunch, NPC Polo Operations Asado and the National President's Cup final.
