I wont argue that point, you may very well be correct. It seems to me that here in Ohio, we face far different challenges in showing that someone in Texas. Our issues with National Travel, Futuries, judges, travel, finding majors etc. are very different. Regardless though, I've belonged to several clubs around Ohio (as Jeff and I moved often there for a while). Each club has been very different in its communication with the board and its level of understanding/involvment in what is happening. I just wonder if there is a way to better bridge that communication, and bring "distant" clubs up to speed. The regional representatives wasnt necesarily something I thought out, just a random idea.

Has that ever been considered. Then that Board member has "x" amount of clubs it represents? I have always been against this. Every board member represents us all. There are no regional problems with the breed, and the board must act in the best interest of the entire breed and membership. We don't need no stinkin regional board members.
