Gee -- when our board made the opposite decision (hold obedience trials
regardless) we started making money and supporting the conformation events with
proceeds from all of our trials - now we hold obedience, rally, multiple
agility, and periodic herding trials - all with strong support from the
all-breed exhibitors and all responsible for a healthy club.
Along the way we have added more GSD performance members as they like the way
our trials run.

Hi Sally
This is how I look at it, I'm probably totally wrong but here goes.
The board IS the governing body, yes, they should listen to the memberships
wishes, but the same is in government and politics, we elect officials that
SHOULD vote/write laws etc as the wish of the people, and it does not always
happen. Do I agree or like it, NO. BUT, I don't always have all the facts.
I serve on our local GSD clubs board, and I'm sure our little board has made
some decisions that the membership (at least not all of them) have agreed or
liked. But there have been reasons to do or vote a certain way due to
different
circumstances etc. A big example is last year we voted as a board to drop
Obedience from our Specialty Show. Many in the membership did not like it or
agreed with our decision. The reason we did was purely financial. We could
not
justify the loss of profit our conformation show made to pay for the obedience
judges for 4-6 dogs that would enter. That was NOT an easy decision and cussed
and discussed for several years. When we finally did do it, there were several
members that were truly upset. Some actually exhibit, some do not. I was one
of the ones that voted for dropping obedience. Did I NOT listen to the members
that still wanted to offer it at our June show? I DID listen, but as a board
member,
there are multiple factors to be considered when voting on things.
The only reason I'm writing this is to help put things in perspective. I sure
don't have the answers either, I'm just trying to be fair to the board and
perhaps I'm naive enough to believe that they have the best interest of the
club
at heart!

Interesting concept Chris -but why do the people have to prove anything? The
membership voted on a rotation it is in the By-laws- or P and P I don't
remember which. A contract was signed- The BOD may think they have a good
reason to change the national site but do they have the right to go against the
voice of the membership who voted for a specific rotation with out the approval
of the membership - Just asking

I totally agree and hope that as many members as possible will write the board
members. I do think they listen to voices of reason, we just have to prove
reason to them.
