Eastern Daylight Time, admin@xxxxxxxxxxx writes: Ballots MUST be Revised, Re-sent and Re-voted One of the current Board members on the ballot (Nancy Harper) is ineligible to run for the Board again due to length of time on the Board. The length of time a member may serve on the Board is limited by our Bylaws in Section 5 (A) The AKC has determined that the ballot sent out last week, therefore, is an invalid ballot and must be redone. If you have already sent your ballot in, it will NOT be counted and will be destroyed. If you haven't sent it in, please dispose of it yourself. New ballots will be sent out next Friday on different color paper. The motion to reduce the size of the Board has been clarified. The deadline has been extended to October 6 but please return it as soon as possible, particularly our Canadian and foreign members, so we can make sure your ballots are included.
