In addition, you will maintain contacts with breeders and users of Welsh ponies from inside and outside the NWPCS to keep abreast of developments “in the field.”.
Planning and organizing: You are aware of the NWPCS program of activities and place texts on the website in a timely manner to inform members. In doing so, you are able to plan far ahead and you are proactive in the preparation of your content.
Contact skills: As web editor, you will establish and maintain contacts with a variety of officials and stakeholders from inside and outside the studbook: from board members to breeders, from MediaPrimair editorial staff to photographers, from pony riders to horsemen.
Creativity: writing, publishing, design are creative skills; you are able to accomplish this in a clear and appealing way.
