These  are some long time, hard core competitors. They dont want to  lose.  
They have something to prove. And I believe that's where they come   from.
 
 
That is a great statement. Some times they do let personal agendas get in  
the way, but overall they try to do what is best.  A board member may not  
agree with what the members want. He/she may not agree with what the majority 
of  the board wants. He/she may have an idea that no one else agrees with, 
but may  fight passionately to get that idea in place.
 
This last board meeting one member was very much against the Youth  
Recognition Fund.  There may have been personal reasons, but the rest of  the 
board 
voted to go with the program.  We are getting funds together now;  and 
again, I would appreciate anyone who wants to encourage the future of our  
breed, to donate.  The first year the contribution will be small, but then  I 
intend to seek commercial donations and hope to make it a more meaningful  
amount beginning in 2013.
 
I welcome and thank all the board members for the hard work they do. If  
they disagree with me, I have no problem with that. If they fight for 
something  they believe in, for whatever reason, then they are doing what they 
were 
elected  to do.
 
When I was on the board, I introduced the weighted ballot and it  passed.  
It took three readings, because after it was read twice as  required by the 
by-laws, Ralph Roberts insisted on a third time as he didn't  want it.  I 
introduced the reserves from the Futurities to go to the  National, to give a 
larger class, and because some of the dogs are not mature at  the local 
shows, it passed.  I was against the OFA class at the national, I  failed to 
stop it, and we had it for a few years.
 
As a board member you win some, and you lose some.  But, above all,  you 
give up your time, your energy, and your freedom to fight for what you think  
is right.  For that we should respect and thank all of the board members  
and recognize what they do for us.
 
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
