On an unfortunate note there was NO ONE "YES" NO ONE from the GSDCA-WDA executive board at this event. This was very unprofessional and very disrespectful to the SV judges (German Judges) .. David Landau the SV liaison was not present either ??? We should have had a letter sent to the Chair Gayle Kirkwood to explain there lack of attendance, this is OUR organization, Gayle did and unbelievable job with her club and staff to put on this event. We had the Regional Director, George Rowland and the General board members Cindy and Terri but no one from the executive board. We were advised that Ken Downing was coming but did not show. They all missed an excellent show and again many of our foreign competitors were very disappointed on the lack of the attendance from our executives.. With the problems going on with the WDA(Ballot process not being monitored) this is no reason to let a National event of this importance not to have anyone from the board present.. Wayne Davis the president who you may be voting for a board position GSDCA NOT PRESENT nor a letter or phone call.. Why??? For those not familiar the WDA's two largest events are the Sieger show on the show side and National Championship for the working side.. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ and why are you surprised about this when so many on your board are not active participants in the sport? As I have said before your club 's ruling body should be made up of people who are active in the sport and not just figure heads sally ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
