Actually I think we have a pretty good respresentation of locations on the Board and just to repsond to the "Central Board" pushing to have the National in the Central Region every other year that notion was the result of the GSDCA Membership Survey, the Board is just trying to implement it. The members want it, the board tries to provide it, simple as that and that is the way it should be done, your board should represent the GSDCA members.
