This is a very thought provoking post. Good one Stormy.
I couldn't stand anywhere and pronounce any of the people running less than
honorable and good. I may not agree with some of the people on some of
the issues. I think most people want to do the best they can, and most times
they achieve that, and sometimes they fall short. Sometimes they loose
sight of the goal. This is not exclusive to our small world of dogs, this is
true for life in general.
I think our efforts need to be on first figuring out what the club needs.
I think it is good, unifying, strong leadership. Then we need to identify
those who can offer those qualities to the
club.........realistically......... leaving aside the "I love you Man!"
mentality.
One expectation I have is that when someone is wrong, they admit to it,
apologize, and work to correct the problem.
If you don't agree with me, don't vote for me. But chances are I will
still be saying the same things, and hoping and working for the good of the
club, and the dogs, whether I am an officer of the club or just a member.
Because regardless of the position, I believe the responsibility is the same.
It is the responsibility of the Board to get the business done, and the
responsibility of the members to man the Board as best as they can.
I find it interesting that some people seem unable to disagree and remain
civil. Even our dogs can do that.
Time to start acting as adults, not our shoe sizes.
As someone told me recently: "Time to stop wasting energy, we don't have
to be friends, we just don't need to be enemies."
Amen to that!

Can anybody say that anybody that is running for the board is not

discussed.... Now I need to look at the whole list again and ask my
self some questions.
If I were running for the board, I think I would work REALLY hard to
discuss what I could bring to the Board, and why I think I could do
that so expertly and efficiently, honest and wise, that people would
understand who I was and for what I stood.
I think I would work REALLY hard not to disparage other
"contenders." While I might agree that some are better suited for
running this very large corporation that others, what does each person
bring to the board that would let me think that they would do a good
job in the "Board Room." Are they communicating to the full
membership, as much as they possibly could be? Do they communicate a
lot just before elections, then never hear from them again? Have
they kept their "skirts/trousers" clean as far as building unity and
good will through the membership? What special experience does the
candidate have that would be a special asset? Do they play in the
sandbox in harmony, while still asserting their opinions in their part
of the sandbox?
