Dear NGSPA Trustee, NGSPA Delegate, and NGSPA member President,
ANNOUNCEMENT:
A formal complaint against Kirk Loftin was made by James Messer on May 10, 2024.
A hearing of this complaint was held by a Zoom meeting of the NGSPA Board of Trustees on June 29, 2024.
- By majority vote the Board agreed that the complaint was well-founded and Kirk Loftin was banned from NGSPA events for life, and Chicoree’s Four Leaf Clover’s win of the 2024 Futurity was vacated, among other things.
On July 15, 2024, Kirl Loftin appealed the decision of the Board and asked for a speedy appeal hearing.
According to NGSPA By-Laws, an appeal was held by the NGSPA Delegates on August 24, 2024, by a Zoom meeting.
- By majority vote the Delegates agreed that the complaint was not well founded, which negated all of the associated penalties.
To be clear, Kirk Loftin is not banned nor in any way penalized and will be welcomed to any NGSPA event he chooses to attend, and Chicoree’s Four Leaf Clover (Chloe) is the official winner of the 2024 NGSPA Futurity.
Sincerely,
Keith Richardson
President, NGSPA
