In a message dated 7/21/2010 2:58:24 P.M. Central Daylight Time, rbuffdogs@xxxxxxxxx writes: We may well need to fly Board members to one or two meetings...but ALL of them? Some good points Kathy, and have often thought 2 per year that they get head to head along with the nationals (which they pay for themselves) would be sufficient with 1 meeting being electronic. Because the WDA meetings usually occur at the same place as GSDCA meetings, and it is important with all the issues that these 2 factions come together. Have said for years, and Dave F mentioned yesterday again, we do not need the amount of board members we have. 9 directors instead of 14 would save this club $20,000-25,000 yearly...big savings.
