I can't imagine how you can get involved with WDA on it's Board unless you are first a member of the GSDCA Board. They don't hold elections or take petitions. There does not seem to be a membership list either. frank fasano <f.fasano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: The point I was trying to make was that those named want to get involved- with their interest their would not be a WDA Board- I do understand the importance of the WDA thanks to Fred Migliore but there are many members showing in the sport- why aren't they wanting to get involved?

H's, of Lamar F. qualifications for positions as training directors, questioning Dorothy's L. ability to serve if she doesn't have SCH dogs, or the supposition that Tom M. gets paid 2x are in any way well intended or constructive. I DO agree with you that the question, "why more working dog folks don't want to be involved on their board" is relevant and should be addressed. If you (generic "you") want to challenge the thought that members can be on two boards simultaneously, fine. That's a valid discussion. Criticizing those folks who DO step up to fill positions when asked, though, IMO, is hardly the answer. IMO, they don't deserve it.
