Collins) was President of the GSDCA, he felt that the BOD should be made up of persons elected from each of the nine Futurity regions. Everyone at that time thought he was crazy. He felt the officers should be elected by the entire membership and the BOD voted on from within the districts as representatives of each region. He felt this would be more representative of the entire membership. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- I suggested this a few years ago too Donna, I thought I was a very democratic way to ensure the whole membership feels they had someone representing their personal geological area. I still think it a good idea. Perhaps if enough people address the board on this, a consideration would have to be looked at.
