It varies, but we usually have around 2000 members. The only "in person" Board meetings are held once a year at the National Show. Outside of that they meet online mostly. Now you know why we bother you with our problems so often -- we are a 'mess'. I asked the Collie club what having over 60 board members was like. I figured they had more members than we did. They have a board member from each state,and more if there are 100 members from a state. And some of us want a board member from each region. Let's go for every state, get rid of the meetings,and see what happens. And yes, they bring a lot of problems to me. Evan L.
