3 for 1 Opportunity to Shape the Direction of Your Dog Club!

September 6, 2021

1. At the next General Membership Meeting, on Monday September 20, 2021, at 7:30 PM, Diana Stromley, VP of GCDOC and Head of the Nominating Committee, will formally present the Slate of Candidates for the 2022 Board of Directors for GCDOC. The Nominating Committee (D. Stromley, P. Murn and C. Wright) selected the candidates they felt will best serve the club at this time. They are listed below.

YOU have an opportunity to put forth additional Candidates, if you feel someone else would be better in the position, to run in opposition to the Candidates presented by the Nominating Committee. Any nominees you choose must meet two requirements, according to our By-Laws: 1- the nominee must have attended two meetings during the past year (in-person or Zoom), and 2- they must consent to run for the position nominated. THIS IS THE ONLY OPPORTUNITY TO NOMINATE OTHER INDIVIDUALS. If you choose to nominate someone not present at the September meeting, please present a written acceptance, by the nominee, of their nomination.

• Voting for the 2022 Board positions will be done at the November 5,2021 7:30 PM General meeting. No nominations are accepted at this meeting. VOTE!

• YOU have the opportunity to become a Director of one of the three divisions which are appointed by the Board: Directors of Agility, Conformation and Obedience. If you are interested in one of these positions (duties are described in the Rules and Bylaws), as well as a vote on the Board, apply by delivering a letter of intent, along with your qualifications, to the Nominating Committee, PRIOR to the election in November. The Nominating Committee will verify qualifications and turn the applications over to the Board. The Board will make the appointments after the Election on November 5^th.

Hello everyone,
I am looking for an advanced beginner teach or two. I am working to balance the class schedule and would love to add an advanced beginner class on either Monday night 4:30-5:30 or Wednesday night 4:30-5:30. Please contact me at [email protected] if interested. 

Thanks for your consideration,
Kristina Morgan Gem City Obedience Director

There is still space left to enter the upcoming trials! Closing date is September 8. The premium can be downloaded from the link on the events calendar!

Did you know that you can edit your profile in the membership directory? Look yourself up and click on the gear. You can add a cute photo of your dog, write something about yourself, or just enter your dog breeds! It will really help everyone find each other. Please consider at least adding the breeds that you own. We may not always remember each other’s names but we always remember the cute border collie or golden!

There are still openings for Stewarding at the AKC Obedience and Rally Trial!!

Instruction provided! Learning opportunity free (and food if you work)!

CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP!

Thanks!
