I'm not really into this discussion.........but this struck me.
What can any Board member do for any specific State or Region?   What Region or 
State 
or Club has a specific need where they need someone on the Parent Club  Board 
to be from
THAT region to solve the problem representing that region?   What can a board 
member 
influence regionally?
I only know of one.......and that of course could be pushing for a specific 
area for the National to 
be in their area......and everyone wants it in their area......... <G> 
Other than that one issue.......as Evan says....we are a Breed Club and our 
purpose is for the
betterment and promotion and education of this specific breed.
The Parent Club Board member should not be more concerned about a specific 
region for the 
success or failure of a regional club?     It is the 'umbrella' over all of 
them.  I think if the Quad 
Cities Club fails, or a Club in Dallas Texas fails we are ALL concerned!!    I 
know we all want and
know someone from our areas that we know to be highly qualified and trustworthy 
for the Board,
but I don't know of any expectation we should have for them solve problems 
local to our areas.....?
As usual ...........I am probably missing something..........?

I may be getting more middle of the road, seeing both sides, sitting  on a 
fence than Evan<VBG>; 
but I do see both sides here.

YES, we are a national/(with members from other countries as well),  and it 
would be a perfect
 world if each person sitting in a BOD would  look at the club from a 
world-view.

However, fantasizing that all the members came from California.   Or  from New 
Jersey.  Could 
the rest of the members rest easy that the  clubs interests from every part of 
the nation was being 
addressed?
What if all the members elected to the BOD came from Canada?  (JUST  
hypothetically, to prove a 
point, eh?) Or even perhaps a bit  realistically, all from 4 or 5 contiguous 
states.

I was recently in a conference call (legislative stuff) and I was the  only 
person west of the  Mississippi
 that was involved.  I had to  educate them on the concerns and the differences 
of attitudes of some  
of us left coasters.  Knowing some of the differences made us more of  a united 
front for the issue.
Just throwing this out................
