and they can only "opt out" if they are online to do so. i have far more
members who futurity nominate their litters and do not have an email
address. bottom line is that they pay the same dues as the rest of us .

If you were guessing (this is a trick question because I know the answer),
how many GSDCA members - or what percent of the members - do NOT have an
email address - or at least one they have shared with the GSDCA?
I will tell you that there are fewer than 10 members that have opted out
of
the Constant Contact GSDCA emails. Pam

When we consider the costs to this Club ( which IS the membership ) for
flying Board members and
paying Hotel expenses to make sure the entire Board can attend a meeting
.... 'wherever'.......to do our
business and make decisions for all of us and this Breed...it DOES seem
only
right that the membership
can find out EXACTLY what happened as quickly and efficiently as possible
after each meeting. Most
of the issues and votes are of deep concern to all of us also.
I do appreciate how quickly Tish gets the BOG out to us....this IS 2011
and
Communication is amazingly
easy. As Ileana states....for those not plugged into the Internet it
seems
crucial THAT should be a main
consideration to be on the agenda to solve...now. They pay the same dues
we all do ....but to 'hold up'
communication to the rest of us with internet access for THAT reason
seems
a tad over kill .......??
Without full and correct information the Board leaves itself wide open to
inuendos and speculation after
every meeting and that is never ever healthy for any Organization.
It's like a FULL MOON after every meeting. <G>
ONLY the Board can resolve to solve this problem........and it IS time.
Closed meetings for a specific purpose is a lot different than a
deliberately UNINFORMED
MEMBERSHIP.
The Candidates should have full access to the membership list for
e-mailing
their BIO's ( once ) in
this day and age and the membership should have full access to every
detail
of the meetings ASAP.

And just think how much easier it would all be without a gag rule forcing
members to call the directors to get a clear
picture. Members should not have to call all board members to get the
full story. It should be all out there and clearly
visible.
I don't think members should try to do the work of the board but we do
have the right to know what they are doing
without the board throwing up barriers. Cspan for this club would do
wonders.

Why does it have to be one way OR the other? We can make it work using
all the venues available.
I would never even remotely suggest disenfranchising anyone, hell, my
goal is to move off to a mountain,
I will be depending on that pony express guy! I just signed a petition
for the Review to remain as is,
so I do get it.
Are we not missing an opportunity to reach out expeditiously to the
majority of the membership?
Maybe revamping the membership committee to have a section dealing with
electronic communication
AND another section dealing with those who are only reachable thru snail
mail. Just asking.
We have to a least listen and consider moving, even if slowly, into the
21st century. Baby steps.

Not everyone is online - some cannot use computers, others opt not to
Let's say our membership
is 2900 and only 2100 have computers.
We would be disenfranchising the 800 computerless members. THAT IS
WRONG.
The Club uses constant contact and the website, but we also use the
REview To communicate -
as that goes to ALL members, not the approximatedly 70% with computers,
100% of our membership.
That is probably the main reason that the AKC prohibits electronic
voting.
When everyone in the world is plugged in, this will change. Until then,
pony express will continue to be the
correct way to communicate.
