AS YOUR DIRECTOR I STAND FOR:

Greater efficiency and transparency within the CKC offices
Financial accountability and cost effectiveness in all CKC departments
Greater leadership regarding Breed Specific Legislation
The return of printed dog show results
Pride in our love of purebred dogs and our membership organization

AS YOUR DIRECTOR I WILL:

Listen to the concerns of the membership
Attend all board meetings from beginning to end
Have a web page accessible to all Zone 7 members
Vote according to majority wishes
NOT be part of a voting block or “clique”
NOT use membership on the board to forward a judging career

AS YOUR DIRECTOR I WILL ASK THE FOLLOWING:

Why is there one manager for every six employees at CKC?
Why do costs keep rising, but services keep deteriorating?
Why have the CKC library and Archives been neglected for so long?
Why is there no CKC presence at dog shows? Why is the CKC booth not used?
Why is so little being done to encourage membership participation?
Why do the dog show rules restrict rather than encourage and assist clubs?
Why is Dogs in Canada no longer a publication for CKC members? Why articles about Goldendoodles and mongrels?
Why does the CKC have so little public visibility?
