I agree with Ed on this, and most every other thing. However, one of the biggest problems has been and continues to be the lack of communication, and the perceived need for secrecy with this board. There is no need for so much to be done in secret with a message after that no one can discuss it with us. WE are the club. WE are the GSDCA. WE elect our board, and WE ask them to represent us, when running the club. When WE elect our new board members let's remember who has been open and aboveboard with us, and who has kept things secret, (even if they tell us when we call). This is club of members, not a company with secrets. I have never seen so much done by the Executive Committee and so many closed meetings. Now, remember, there is no one more supportive of our board then me. They ALL work hard for us, and all fo them should be thanked. The people who serve on our board do so through dedication and a strong desire to help our breed, our club, and our members. But, we should think carefully when we elect the new members. They will be responsible for the future of our breed. And, that is important.
