being an experienced business-person alone will not cut it either though, as far as I am concerned. A good productive Board member must have a combination of a lot of things you and I have mentioned along with other traits & experiences. > > I will say this, I submitted my bio along with everything else needed to > run for the Board and I was told I had to re-write my bio so that it was > under 100 words.

Not just 100 words. > > Jeff Pyle *********** I agree -- it takes that balance of all those traits and experience and knowledge. I personally would like to see FULL Bio's on each and every candidate, whether on this list or as a GSDCA mailing. Knowledge is what we all need to select the people to represent us! I don;t feel a limited Bio is conducive to the knowledge we need. Judy in MN who is still trying to get to know everyone.....and needs these FULL Bio's to make an educated decision come voting time. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
