Sorry.

I assume it's the same one we use for our Futurities!!?? I am not sure if I am for or against Regional representation. It has its good and bad points. This list has a lot of good thinkers and ideas. Perhaps we can come up with something that would be doable and together we could present an outline (or rough draft) to the Board which should include the reduction of Board members. How about it?

As a resident of the Northwest how would I know the needs of the folks in Florida. Yes I agree it is one breed and one breed club but the breed club is the sum total of the regional clubs and they are dying. Terry who is for 9 regional directors. In a perfect world getting someone to run and get elected in each and every region is attainable, but therein lies the problem. Yes we need input from each and every region, and maybe people from different regions may not know the issues plaguing one region versus another, however, that's were COMMUNICATION comes into play. My suggestion was that each Director is designated a region and provided with listings of their clubs with contacts. This way they have a direct pipeline to those clubs/contacts and communicate them regularly. It's a method of opening up the lines of communication. Unless issues are brought to light, (not just on this list but directly to a Board member) how can any solutions be provided? I'm not suggesting we are running a government here, I was just brainstorming on how to get the lines of communication open directly to the board from those clubs that have issues which are not being addressed. We've got approximately three thousand members, if we all could generate ideas to benefit our club and breed how extraordinary would that be?
