Fellow members of District 9,
Welcome to our website! Encompassing a large portion
of the east coast, District 9 contains the states of
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, West
Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Washington D.C., and multiple foreign countries. We
boast a very diverse, active, and talented group of
ARBA members – both open and youth!
Our web site contains a large amount of information
for those who reside in District 9. Included are a
listing of our state representatives along with
their biographies and contact information, licensed
registrars and judges in district 9, show results,
educational opportunities, pictures from events, and
much more. This is all provided to us by our very
talented Tracy Lukeman from Virginia who has served
as the webmaster for this web site for many years.
Since 2009 I have been serving as your District 9
Director. I have been a member of the ARBA since
1995 and have lived in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and
my current residence of Charlotte, North Carolina.
I’ve enjoyed being a licensed judge #789 since 2002
and have had the opportunity to judge in many US
states, Canada, as well as halfway across the world
in Japan.
Raising rabbits introduced me to veterinary medicine
and solidified my professional goals. I’m a 2004
graduate of Penn State (go Nittany Lions!) and a
2008 graduate from the University of Pennsylvania’s
School of Veterinary Medicine. I currently work as
an associate veterinarian near my home in Charlotte
seeing companion animals (dogs and cats) along with
exotics (rabbits, cavies, small mammals, reptiles,
and birds). I am also the current chairman of the
ARBA Rabbit & Cavy Health Committee.
One of the many initiatives I set out to achieve in
2009 was to bring the ARBA Convention back to
District 9. The last time it was here was in 1976 in
York, PA. In 2011 the ARBA Board awarded the honor
of hosting the 2013 ARBA National Convention and
Show to the Mid Atlantic Rabbit & Cavy Shows. This
is an organization that I am passionate about,
serving as their club secretary. Mark your calendars
for October 19-23, 2013! History Awaits in the
Keystone State!
As your director I am here to serve as your active
voice on the ARBA Board. Please do not hesitate to
contact me with any questions or concerns you have
regarding our district or the ARBA in general. As
always, please stop by and say hello at a show. I
look forward to working with you!
Sincerely,
Jay E. Hreiz, VMD
