When you attend a Board meeting in person...you are not allowed to speak from
the "audience".
You can only listen. It should be the same with the calls.
If they stopped business to listen to every person....or even 'some' of the
persons sitting in on
the meeting .... they would never get all their own work done. Being on the
Board is a huge job
and there is a lot of work done by the Board at the meetings. Meetings start at
8 am Sat. morn.
and are packed full until 5 pm. Same for Sun. 8 a.m. and packed until everyone
leaves to catch
their flights home. Appreciate your Board....they work very hard, and each
one has, or is on a
couple of other Committees.
BUT, the Board members should remember that they were, and ARE still the same
as us.....just
a part of "the membership"....that were put on the Board BY the membership
hoping to be heard!!
If they would communicate with the membership a lot more...and know and care
what the
membership really wants, we would not have wasted a year or so of brutal
discussions over white
dogs....and there would not be as much complaining about the time that coat
classes take even now
( Please...I did not say coats aren't 'good'...they just don't need their own
special classes! ) ..and
we would not have the National in the same location three years in a row, and
rotating National
sites would already be set ahead of time.
Most of us are committed to this Breed, and pay dues, and travel, and belong to
Clubs, because we
DO CARE!
Every effort should be made to let the members know what is going on at the
meetings as soon as
possible if not during the meetings for many. It CAN BE DONE! But first you
have to CARE, to try.

I just finished a call in to the Indiana Federal Court.
I have a products liability case I filed in San Francisco. It was immediately
transferred to the Indiana Courts with 800 other cases for the same hip
replacement litigation.
We had a Status Conference yesterday. There were six lead attorneys for
plaintiffs and four for defendant Bio Med. The rest of us attorneys "little
people" were allowed to call in, but we were all put on mute. You heard who
joined, (about 100 of us), but although we were not heard, we were able to
listen in on the hearing.
Maybe the parent club should do it the same way. I doubt we could be heard at
the board meeting. I still don't know the time, but if I can get some free
time, I will try to call in.
