Dear Members, this
past year we switched the KJRA official publication
to the Rodeo News. The Rodeo News is a biweekly publication
which features news and articles on Rodeo as well
as specific news and articles on the associations
they cover. The association articles are known as
“Meet the Member” and “Young Guns”.
The process utilized to determine which member they
feature for an article is as follows:
Meet the Member: The Association membership provides
Rodeo News a member name and contact information
from which Rodeo News then contacts the member to
complete a phone interview. From this phone interview
Rodeo News will write the “Meet the Member”
article. Those eligible are contestants, family
members, judges, clowns, stock contractor, etc.
The only stipulation is they must be an active member
of the Association.
Young Guns: Selection of the “Young Gun”
is done through a nomination process. The young
gun must be a KJRA member and contestant, and must
be nominated by a member of the Association. Selection
of the featured “Young Gun” is made
by Rodeo News. (Rodeo News does target to feature
2 – 3 members from each association annually.)
Members are nominated because of their activities
both in and out of the rodeo arena. However, it
is primarily their non-rodeo activities that make
them a good candidate for selection as a “Young
Gun”. Rodeo News seeks kids involved in community
service, volunteer work, or other activities that
make them recognized as a leader by their peers.
(If you have read this article, I am sure you get
the feel for what Rodeo News is looking for.)
The process for nominating KJRA members for these
articles will be:
