Hi Tom; The BIOS ARE part of the campaign and are expected. HOWEVER.....sometimes life just gets in the way. Gail sent her Bio this time and it did not arrive to either Sharon or Lew. No one's fault. NO ONE can go back and solve that problem......it is a dead horse. NO ONE wants any to fail to arrive! We all like the BIOs even when it is someone we may not vote for. Another Candidate was traveling and did not meet his deadline and another one was just very late. NO ONE can force the U.S. mail nor the Internet nor the Candidates to get the Bios in. Surely we have ALL had problems with both the US Mail, the Internet and LIFE enough to understand that the Club cannot ENFORCE this!!! It's a moot point.

However, the means available to candidates in a GSDCA election are very limited, and that is compounded by time also being limited. The bio being included in the ballot is a great idea because it could be fair to all if it were required and measures taken to insure that every candidate submitted one on time. You won't find GSDCA candidate information by reading the newspaper or watching TV. That works fine for governmental elections, but club elections require more, and that is the reason for the biographies.
