Governance
Become a member
Pegasus Riding for the Disabled of ACT Incorporated is a member based Not-for-Profit charity organisation overseen by a board of volunteer directors.
Our board, made from members of the organisation, help to guide Pegasus in achieving its mission through structured governance in conjunction with the CEO.
Families who attend Pegasus and our amazing volunteers are automatically members and we encourage each and everyone of you to participate where possible. Membership is also open to members of the public and is often where many of our board directors come from.
Our members are integral in shaping the organisation, and once again we encourage you to take part in our Annual General Meetings where board nominations are elected and financial updates are given.
