McGowan Named to Inaugural National Student Board of Directors

Delaney McGowan of Harrisburg, Nebraska, has been selected to serve on the inaugural Student Board of Directors for the National Block and Bridle Club. She will represent both two-year institutions and the Western Region.

McGowan, who will be a sophomore at Eastern Wyoming College this fall, is majoring in agribusiness and sciences after earning her Beef Production Certificate this spring. She will also serve as the 2025–26 secretary of the EWC Block and Bridle Club and as the swine representative for the EWC Fitting and Showing Club.

In addition, McGowan is a member of the EWC Livestock Judging Team and the EWC Show Team. This spring, she was honored with the Top Hand Award, recognizing her as one of the agriculture program’s outstanding freshmen.

The National Student Board of Directors was established in spring 2025 to advise the National Officers of the Block and Bridle Club and to increase chapter engagement, raise awareness of the board’s role within the organization, and support leadership development among members.

As a board member, McGowan will participate in officer meetings, contribute to the club’s social media outreach, and work with the host chapter for the upcoming national convention to help promote and support the event. The national officers will assign additional responsibilities throughout the year.
