I am only a committee member. But Tish requires that I sent a written report to all Board members at least 2 weeks before the meeting, so they can have it in advance. She does that of everyone, so she write an agenda in advance. I urge all of you to send your ideas directly to the president, _tishw@xxxxxxxx (mailto:tishw@xxxxxxx) or your favorite board member. (There are about 19 of them) Board members need to hear directly from their constituents. This list is not a voice of the German Shepherd Dog Club of America, and because of the many members who are not club members, they do not pay a lot of attention and may not even be on this list. So do contact them directly Carol Moore In a message dated 5/2/2010 6:11:34 P.M.

My understanding is that often this agenda is somewhat last minute with some board members not always participating in a timely manner. If my understanding is wrong, please kindly correct me. If this is true, then board members would have to step up to make this work. It would give the membership a clear picture of who on the board is engaged....but, of course, being a board member is a volunteer position.
