Barb Hahn brought up the subject of having a Mentor that was not a club member. There is a lot of merit to that suggestion and can be utilized/ Please be aware that the first phase of the Mentoring Program has to do with extending ourselves to present members, new members, and prospective members. The act of Mentoring/Teaching conformation, obedience, Rally and other venues is the 3rd phase of the program. Clubs will absolutely have the opportunity to let their Committee Member know what would be most beneficial to them as a Club. Each club may face different challenges as each is unique in their own way. We WANT TO KNOW how we can best assist and support you. If requests/suggestions are out of the Mentoring parameters it will be passed on to the GSDC Of America Regional Club Chair. Thank you Barb for your input.
