PATH Intl. Launches New Website

Denver—The Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH Intl.) is thrilled to announce the launch of its new website at www.pathintl.org. In a number of surveys, the former website came out on top needing the most attention in the association’s communication with its members. “Hard to navigate” and “can’t find anything” were frequent comments.

The new site features a beautiful look and feel in providing a streamlined experience for the user. Members and certified professionals will find it easier to renew credentials, find needed education materials and register for events, while the public will discover an improved “Find a Center” search feature.

“Next time you visit the website, you will have a pleasant surprise,” said PATH Intl. Director of Marketing and Communications Kaye Marks. “Designed to be more functional, interactive and user-friendly, the website has been created to supply a seamless and easy to navigate user experience, and we couldn’t wait to share all the new and improved features.”

PATH Intl. invites you to explore the new website. Check out the accessibility adjustment functions for website visitors with special needs, including ADHD, seizure and visual impairment profiles, or visit the resource page to find a wealth of information offered by PATH Intl. Be sure to check out the “Find a Center” directory with area maps showing the location of each PATH Intl. Center Members and Premier Accredited Centers in addition to searching by the services offered.

PATH Intl. thanks everyone for their feedback in planning the website process. Enjoy the results!
