I don't think whether a person is a newbie or a seasoned GSD person should make a difference. Sometimes, the "newbies" can bring more fresh ideas and perspective to the table. I think discouraging anyone from joining a committee or board on any level is wrong. What happen to encourage not discourage. Then we wonder why people are not joining clubs or quitting.

've never met elizabeth in person but have shared many email conversations with her. yes, she is relatively new - BUT, she asks intelligent uestions, respects the opinions of others, whether or not she agrees with them, is bright and eager to learn. elizabeth is one of the few i have "met" over he years who has not gone through the "omniscient novice" phase - she ants and is more than willing to learn. she's bright and loves this breed. ow, for those of us who haven't met elizabeth face to face, who on earth ould doubt the dedication and tenacity of someone who trained for and then andled her own dogs in the AOH class at the national and did a darned good job?!?! i would love to hear what she can offer the club and, if she ver does decide to run for the board, this lady will get my vote. mo, iane iane Silver-Strasser ilstra German Shepherds Skatiebug'z_ (http://skatiebugz.shutterfly.com/) The online store for verything German Shepherd and then some! http://skatiebugz.blogspot.com_ (http://skatiebugz.blogspot.com/) kater's Blog n a message dated 11/4/2011 8:01:39 A.M.

I may not be able o bring a big name to the table, however, what I could bring is an nalytical mind, very strong financial background and I owe nothing to no one. m not a judge nor am I political. I volunteer to help and most of all I ave fun. But the enthusiasm was cut short my the negatives of why I ould not run. So, I wait, and watch, listen, and shake my head. Maybe omeday I will have the "criteria" in takes to run and hopefully at that time, t on't be too late.
