Interesting account regarding what younger folks do or do not have time
for. Have you or the Board asked any younger people and been turned down?
Is there a history of younger folks vocalizing that they just cannot help
the club due to time constraints?
Going to shows every weekend and speaking with people as well as
communicating through social media, I find the opposite to be true. Our
club has a history of NOT asking younger folks for their input and opinions
and not wanting them to be involved. There is a history of the "good ol
boys" mentality and embracing of change, new ideas, technology, etc are not
embraced. So, as someone who falls at the cusp of younger/older, please
do not speak for me (or them). There are many educated, intelligent
younger people who have wonderful ideas, great energy, and are ignored.
They want to be involved, but have been told no, wait your turn, pay your
dues.
Trust me, I know.... I was told this many times over the past 2 decades...
Respectfully,

Anyone can run for the Board and get elected. However, younger people are
working Full time,
have families (sporting events, etc that they take their offspring to) and
just do not have the time to
devote to the GSDCA even if they show dogs
Some of the Officer positions are a full time job.
There is a new committee working on the Review to get more articles. The
pages need to be paid
for by ads.
The Board has been trying to stop the bleed and keep costs for everything
down - which is why
you can get a membership without a Review and see the review ONLINE

This is my Personal Opinion and Not an official Board response
