PHSA Board Meeting
Minutes
Date: March 17, 2003 7:00 PM
Attending: Rich Scarlett, Diane Boram, Barbara Miller, Doris MacDonald, Gaye Goldeman, Bob Daly, Audrey Winzinger.
Bylaws
The board reviewed the draft Bylaws. It was decided that the language should be modified to ensure that each show manager is afforded one vote. It was also decided that nominations for officers should be organized in late summer/ early fall and a vote for officers taken at the 1st Open Forum of the year. Voting will be by closed ballot. Gaye also had some suggested modifications, and she will fax the changes to Audrey. These modifications will be incorporated into the Bylaws & a final version voted on at the next board meeting.
Banquet
- Diane suggested that a contact telephone number be printed on the invitations. Diane received a lot of unnecessary calls.
- The board decided to give prize money as an additional award at this year’s banquet. All champions will receive $100.00 and all reserves will receive $50.
Treasurer’s Report
Barbara reported the following:
Working checking account balance $ 7,394.75
Money Market account $25,803.25
Total $33,198.00
Breeding Committee
- Doris had a suggestion made to her that some PHSA funds be used to hold clinics. This suggestion will be discussed at the next Open Forum.
- The Breeding Committee would like the Association to encourage announcers to announce the sire & dam of all winners at PHSA breeding shows. It was decided that the best course of action would be for the exhibitors to request this modification directly of show management.
- Although Doris made many attempts to have the Amateur Handler class specs changed in the Devon prize list to mimic the PHSA specs, the prize list came out & the specs remained unchanged. Doris will keep working on it.
New Business
A suggestion was made to have a PHSA Show of the Year with members voting right on their membership application. No action taken.
Meeting adjourned at 9:00 PM
