About the Speakers:
George Dupont has been an integral part of the Museum of Polo since its inception in 1989. As the Museum’s Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, George has been instrumental in this landmark institution's development and ongoing success. From its early days at the Kentucky Horse Park to its current home in Lake Worth, George’s leadership has ensured the Museum remains a monument to the sport of polo. His deep knowledge and passion for polo are evident in every exhibit, from major trophies to the stories of great polo ponies.
Brenda Lynn has been a part of the Wellington community since 1978, raising Arabian horses and contributing to the area’s growth. She joined the Museum of Polo as a volunteer and quickly became a full-time staff member, serving as Vice President of Operations. Brenda’s creativity and commitment have helped shape the Museum into the vibrant cultural hub it is today. Her efforts in raising awareness and engaging the community have made the Museum a beloved institution.
