Margaret Wilson
Margaret has been E3A’s Business Office Manager for the past five years. She also refers to herself as the “Chief Welcoming Officer” and juggler for E3A.
E3A: Margaret, tell us a little bit about yourself and your roles in this position with E3A
I met two of the E3A founders, PJ Stegan and Linda Pucci, at The Horse Symposium in Denver back in 2012. I attended their arena activity and spent several hours afterward talking horses and coaching. They introduced me to EAL and I began the certification process that fall.
A few years later, I saw an ad for an admin assistant for E3A. I reached out to Ginny Telego, the BOD President at the time and she hired me to help her with monitoring emails and phone inquiries about the E3A programs.
And as they say, the rest is history! I began expanding my role to creating and managing website events and registrations, writing event promos, providing support for the BOD and members with login issues or renewals, and anything else related to their membership.
I live in the foothills of Denver and love to travel so you never know where you’ll find me if you call the E3A office!
E3A: What aspect of your roles with E3A is the most fulfilling for you Margaret?
It’s a role with many hats and I love it for that reason. I meet so many interesting people and hear some amazing stories about their passions for helping others with the wisdom of the horse. I am passionate about seeing E3A support these individuals and their work in EAL. The need for our EAL services in today’s world is great and we can really make a positive impact on our world.
I am truly inspired by the amazing herd with have within E3Aand working closely with our BOD and Master Trainers is very rewarding.
E3A: What excites you the most about the future of E3A
The prospect of growing into the “premier go-to-place” for excellence in EAL is my vision for E3A. I am so proud of the strides made by the organization in the last few years. And we continue to demonstrate our commitment and expertise in providing the best in class knowledge based and experiential training for facilitators in EAL. Joining other key organizations in a collaborative and strategic manner will enhance our position and secure our future. It’s a great time to be a member of E3A!
