I could be wrong but the GSDCA is Incorporated, in the eyes of the law it is a living breathing entity. I believe the membership would have to be named individually. Someone help me here.

I heard Kris Fasano advising on legal points at the Board meeting. Do we have a formal Legal Advisor? I thought I read that Kris had quit that position. And should our Legal Advisor be versed in New York Law, being that we are incorporated in New York. According to the officers, the lawsuit was filed in Florida. Do we need a FL and a NY lawyer? Couldn't some people apologize for their mishandlings and broken procedures, and attempt to negotiate? And should any of the officers named as defendant be chairing or participating in any of the club business? Is that safe, or is that going to get us in more trouble? Let's be proactive, please. I tried to express the point that Lew shouldn't be chairing the meeting, only to be told I was out of order. Oh well. I don't think we need to be paying a parliamentarian to seat at our meetings. I can understand Lew asking her for advice, but it was distressing to see her asking Lew how to proceed with the Ballots. I thought she was going to tell US that! We could be saving that money, the procedures are in our By-Laws. If anyone knows the answers to Bob's and mine questions, please post.
