I agree with Evan. Having served on the Membership Committee, I know that Dania and the other members are supremely dedicated to attracting, supporting, maintaining, and renewing members. As we deal with dwindling numbers of both dogs and people active in conformation, it is vital that we try out different ways of maintaining and growing our membership. Some will work and some will not. It is so easy to criticize. Criticism, in turn, discourages attempts at future innovation. Instead of criticizing, how about offering some alternative approaches?
