| Finger pointing has no place at the top. In any given organization those at the top are responsible for results. Period. For starters, why was the date for NUSC chosen within 2 weeks of a national sieger show in the same state?? There's the first and probably fatal flaw. |

As a WDA member I have sat back and watched the new Board for the last 4 months. All that we have been hearing was how bad the previous Board had been and that the "New" Board was going to do so many great things!!!! Well listed below is my list of this "New" Board's successes.......

| GSDObserver--read my post on page 8 regarding the April By-Law Proposal ballots and what happened there. Enjoyed your informative post very much about some very pathetic performances on the part of a very ineffective Board! Let's see how they try to worm out of your detailed presentation of facts, which says it all. I think some resignations should be forthcoming. They constantly remind members that they "are volunteers." Well, maybe "they" should consider volunteering to resign before the WDA self-implodes. |

| There were important WDA bylaw amendments in the pipeline for board consideration in July 2011. The WDA Board never got to that part of the agenda. Some of the amendments were initiated by the WDA Colorado attorneys. Those proposed amendments were practical (allowing business/notification/voting to occur via 21st century technology), clarifications (who, exactly, is a voting member?) Most important, IMHO, was an amended mission statement that reflects the WDA reality. The WDA bylaws are for a PERFORMANCE ONLY organization--no conformation shows, no NASS, no breed surveys, nothing that even remotely smacks of being breed related. Why? Because any such provisions would put the WDA in conflict with the GSDCA. |

| GSDObserver: Thank you for all of your very informative information. I am saddened to see the very poor NUSC lack of interest....or is it lack of information given to the membership? Last quarter I complained about the lack of content in the WDA magazine, but getting it out so late sure does not help the clubs who have shows coming up build an entry. I feel as though too few people on the board are doing too many jobs and none of them well. This is an organization I have belonged to for over 10 years. My regional club is a WDA club and we have had very successful shows over the years. We have sponsered National trophies and encouraged members to show and trial their dogs. If things don't improve I really don't know where the WDA is going, if anywhere but down. The NASS is 5 months away. No committee has been approved. I have been asking for a logo since November so that I can have clothing made for the show....NOTHING! Wouldn't you think that a show this important, and so profitable would be organized at least a year ahead of time, not thrown together in a few months? Pat |

| GSD Observer and Openmind, Thank you for providing facts, something this board seems to continually avoid. Any suggestions on what WDA members can do to get this board to accept responsibility for their actions and get the WDA back on track? |

| I told you that the head was absolutely furious with the person whose story I told and that person was threathened!!! So, what are YOU going to do to try to change things???? Are you going to be treated any better? |
by Alamance on 03 May 2012 - 22:44 |
| Could someone please tell us what the "GSDCA-WDA Newsletter" is? Is it the "monthly" magazine? |

| Judron raised the 2013 WUSV World Championship question. It's a WUSV event and they will do whatever it takes to ensure it functions smoothly even if they have to push the host out of the way,. Remember how the Germans do business. |

| Hmmmm.....DogBum, do you, by any chance, remember WUSV in Boston back in the 90's:-) |

| k9nme: Who is the "head" and it is my opinion that you are the "person"...who are you? |
by gck on 05 May 2012 - 20:46 |
| Dear Itismyopinion, Demanding information, in a bullying fashion, is a tactic employed by the "head". Please tell the world who YOU might be. |
by Alamance on 05 May 2012 - 22:33 |
| gck, you are absolutely right and I do not even know who you are and I do NOT care!!!!! Thanks!! And the head has moles on this list. And after that comment "opinion," I will not help you now, no matter who You are. Do not understand that nastiness or the cause of it. AND is that nastiness going to get You more support from others on this list? Maybe you are just One of the moles on this list. With you and the rest of the nastys in WDA, it makes UScA look like they were right with the JA!!! And I do not belong to UScA either!!! |

| gck, you are right, my comment was in poor taste. |

| I've been to the site where the WUSV Championship will be held. I saw a soccer match there...right outside of Philly. No web info yet..... |

| I looked at the website for the votes on the three amendments and cannot find any information. So, I called a few important members or clubs or breeders and they did not know the vote count. When is the next National Conference call? Will there be one? Will there be a budget? Will there be any information for those who trial ? Just wondering, as others have already asked those questions. Thanks for any information not for me but others. |

I find it really sad that someone who is/was a member of the WDA was threatened by the "head" of the WDA. I take "the head" to mean the President of the WDA. That is unacceptable and should not be tolerated by anyone! No member of any organization should be threatened by the head of the organization. This isn't a street gang, it's a dog club. A social club where people get together, train, trial and show their dogs. Geez, stop trying to destroy people and just go out and have fun with your dogs! As for the Worlds 2013, that is a GSDCA event, not a WDA event. The GSDCA is the host club for the Worlds. The WDA has agreed to "help". |
