USCA Sieger Show 2007 - Page 3

How about this: Keep the rotation schedule, Open the vote up to the membership, MAJORITY RULE (a whole new concept but it may work). We all pay our membership even if we don't belong to a "club". We should ALL get to vote.

<<> I agree, very good, now we are getting somewhere. But you are a member of an organization that as of right now allows club delegates to vote. So it's up to you to push the delegates to pass a policy that allows ALL due paying members to vote.

[[["But you are a member of an organization that as of right now allows club delegates to vote. So it's up to you to push the delegates to pass a policy that allows ALL due paying members to vote.]]]] I am new to this so please forgive me if I use the incorrect markers to note a quote. I and my husband and several of my friends are paying members of USCA but NOT members of any club and am now to understand that we have no voting rights as to the course of our organization. Where does it state this when we submit our membership dues to USCA? I am a member of USCA and they have not ever told me that my membership was based on being a member of a club so I would have thought that I as a member had some right to vote on matters. Am I incorrect? I would have to get legal opinion but I think that if I pay membership somewhere in the structure of this organization I should have some say.

Thank you Uwe. I will have it looked at for a legal opinion.

It should be stated in the by laws that no club can host consecutive national events. Was there something in the current issue of the USA mag that Wesconn donated all of the proceeds to the 2008 WUSV developement fund? If this is true then this is an issue of show GSD people promoting the working GSD. Kyle
