The purpose of the Manual is to assist Board members and Committee Chairperson of the GSDCA in their tasks of administering the affairs of the Club and the Board; and to have available a broad overview of the functions and policies of the Club, the Board, the National, the Futurities, the REVIEW and all other committees that are overseen by the Board. It should also be clearly understood that the Manual merely attempts to document in a readily available form, the current policy and procedures followed by the GSDCA Board. The function of this document is not to take the place of the Minutes, which are the official actions of the Board. This document may contain errors or omissions that should be brought to the attention of the listed Chairpersons. The document will be changed by Board actions whenever indicated. Whenever possible, motions are quoted exactly from the minutes. The information in the Manual is taken from the latest motions as quoted in the Board minutes, as well as newly established policy or procedures. Motions may be abbreviated. For the exact wording of a motion refer to the minutes which are the final statement of policy. In January 2010, the Board approved the removal of old motions and pertinent history to a P&P History Log File. Only current information appears in the PandP. The Manual Refers to Applicable Federal/NY Law, the BY Laws and Roberts Rules of Order in that order. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
