- Update on carry-over nominations and new nominations
Review the process and procedures from our By-laws. Discuss each nominee – vote in October
There was one new individual nomination (2 were sent in for the same person) and 1 carry-over individual nomination. There are three carry-over dog nominations. After a brief reminder of the process from our by-laws the committee moved to Executive session to review each nomination. Report out of the Executive Session – the vote will be taken at the October 17th meeting.
- Look ahead to committee member terms for 2020.
After this year the terms for Robb, Jeff, Terry and John will expire. Terry and John have agreed to stay on for a second term. This was Robb’s second term so he must leave the committee per the by-laws. Bethann will call Jeff and ask him about another term. We will be seeking interested individuals to replace Robb, and possibly Jeff, later this fall.
- Bird Dog Foundation Board of Director position.
A.R. Ginn has been serving on the Bird Dog Foundation Board for the past 5 or 6 years and has decided to retire. The Foundation tries to replace a person with another person from that same breed. Bethann has been asked to step into this role on the Foundation Board. She accepted and will formally be voted in later this year.
Old Business
- Fundraising thoughts – Gun raffle? (Terry)
Terry shared what the Maine club has done in the past with a gun raffle. It sounded very feasible and Terry agreed to organize this project. Motion: (Keith)Have Terry organize the gun raffle with SKB for a 2020 Hall of Fame fundraising project. Second: Sheryl. Approved.
Terry will contact SKB and get things moving. 300 tickets will be sold at $10 a piece throughout the 2020 field trial season. The winner of the gun will be drawn at the 2020 NCC next October.
