Thank you to everyone who participated in the membership vote which closed May 2. All five motions, which included approval of revised Bylaws, ratification of new dues levels, and support for a proposal to request AKC recognition of Welsh Springers as a ramp mandatory breed, passed by substantial majorities. More details are provided in the title link above.
The revised Bylaws now await final AKC approval, which we expect will be in July. This will delay the beginning of the annual membership renewal process until the second half of July.
In the future, members will have the option of electronic delivery of The Starter Barks or continuing to recieve a paper copy at an additional fee to cover printing and postage. Members will be able view a prototype of an electronic version before they are asked to make a selection with the next dues renewal.
