Summary of Proposed Amendments to the BY-LAWS
We have been working very hard on your behalf - because you asked for change...
The proposed amendments were jointly written by Carol Boehm (CFHA BC Representative) and Andrea Thiel (CFHA Secretary). David Trus, Animal Registration Officer with the Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, reviewed these proposals, and his recommendations have been incorporated.
An overview of the proposed changes:
·Certain sections were reworked to eliminate conflicts and possible misunderstandings.
·The section on Members was re-written to make it more welcoming. The right of all members in good standing to vote is now protected.
·The section on Directors has substantially changed. Minutes of Board meetings will be recorded and published on the website and in the newsletter to assure transparency. Eastern and Western Canada will have equal representation on the Board. Terms of office have been incorporated to ensure that new ideas and energy help make this Association productive in promoting our breed to the general public.
·The section on Rules of Registration has changed to bring it up-to-date, and to clarify what is required before an animal from a foreign registry can be recognized in Canada.
Voting on the proposals will be by the mail-in ballot that you would have received in June, in a 6'x10' manila envelope, along with your CFHA newsletter.
The ballots, which must be postmarked no later than August 16, 2010, are to be mailed to the General Manager, CLRC, 2417 Holly Lane, Ottawa, ON, K1V 0M7.
