So perhaps the board member lifers should run for congress. Lol. Okay seriously I have nothing personal against the lifers and I truly believe most of them are great board members. I just think by increasing the "gene pool" will make us better ----- Original Message ----- From: TISHW@xxxxxxx To: edwinx@xxxxxxxxxxx, ejdegen@xxxxxxx Cc: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wed, 10 Jul 2013 16:02:42 -0000 (UTC) Subject: Re: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Board elections He can't run for President but he can run for Congress.

Eastern Daylight Time, edwinx@xxxxxxxxxxx writes: President Obama can never run for US President again unless our Constitution changes That is the true meaning of term limits and your argument of people are not willing to give up their time to work for the club. Where are your facts to support that? I think term limits, real term limits would make us a better club. I could be wrong but I doubt it .....we will just have to agree to disagree Ed --- Original Message ----- From: Julie Degen To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wed, 10 Jul 2013 14:51:25 -0000 (UTC) Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Board elections Ed, There ARE term limits already in place and have been for YEARS. If you're talking about LIFETIME term limits, then I'd have to disagree with you. Not everyone is willing to give up their time & resources to benefit the club and its members. If we only allowed those workers who are willing to serve to be on the board for a couple of years and then they're done forever, I fear our club would suffer. There aren't enough people willing to sacrifice to work for the club that we can afford to put life limits on workers. Also, I don't understand how the "lifers" (as you phrase it) are keeping ANYONE from being elected. They only have one vote each....Just like you and I do. Now if you mean the CLUB MEMBERS continue to vote them into office because they are familiar with their na mes AND the fact that they will work for the club, well this is still a majority decision by the members and that's how voting works. Every member of the club gets to vote and every vote is worth the same. I would again beseech anyone interested in being on the board to volunteer for committees and prove that you're willing to put your own time and resources into helping the club and the other members. Also, go to board meetings and see how hard the board works and learn about the GSDCA and the entire process of running the club. Yes, it would be on your own dime, but if you run and are elected to the board, you will be spending LOTS more of your own dimes!!!
