I suggested the regional representation around 3 months ago, that each
futurity region should have representation. I still feel it would be a
fairer
way to go. I agree with Evan that each board member should be representing
all
members, but honestly, I do not feel that that is always the case. That is
the same as saying the governor of New York State has the interests of all
constituents of Texas when he builds a platform to run on. We know that
wouldn't happen.
The struggles of the clubs in a region can best be understood by other
persons in that region...this country is so geographically diverse and each
area
has it owns specific set of issues ie weather, working members, distance
between clubs/shows, building entries and support etc.
That said I sent a message to the board a few months ago proposing they look
at a change to the infrastructure and geographic makeup. I got responses
from 2 board members, so I now know what people say when they say they send
messages to the board and do not hear back. I sent a second message about
something different a month or so later, and only got 2 responses from the
board.
I do not care if they want to answer negative or positive, but have the
courtesy to at least acknowledge receipt of the messages. Do I feel I am
getting represented well? Would still like to see a regional rep, guess
that
answers that.
I usually try to look for the positive in most things, most that know me
well know I am not a complainer without an answer to fix the problem. I do
appreciate all that is done by the board members as a whole, their job is not
an
easy one and they come under great criticism as we have seen in the past week
on issues. But I do believe there is room for great improvement in
communication and direction to where we should be going.

wont argue that point, you may very well be correct. It seems to me that
here in Ohio, we face far different challenges in showing that someone in
Texas. Our issues with National Travel, Futuries, judges, travel, finding
majors
etc. are very different.
Regardless though, I've belonged to several clubs around Ohio (as Jeff and I
moved often there for a while). Each club has been very different in its
communication with the board and its level of understanding/involvment in what
is happening. I just wonder if there is a way to better bridge that
communication, and bring "distant" clubs up to speed. The regional
representatives
wasnt necesarily something I thought out, just a random idea.

Do we have Board designees from each "area"? Has that ever been
considered. Then that Board member has "x" amount of clubs it represents?
I have always been against this. Every board member represents us all.
There are no regional problems with the breed, and the board must act in the
best
interest of the entire breed and membership.
We don't need no stinkin regional board members.
