EB Ballot: #36-17 Implement a USCA Membership Rule that applies to those in elected positions within USCA.

Motion by Vice President, Vadim Plotsker, seconded by Dennis Vander Linde, DAL to implement a USCA Membership Rule that applies to those in elected positions within USCA.

Proposed New Rule:  An Executive Board Member, Officer, Regional Director, Judge, standing committee member, or elected individual may not be a member of any competing German Shepherd Dog organization.

Background

One of the agenda items at the 2017 General Board Meeting was the By-Law amendment to restrict United Schutzhund Club of America (USCA) members from being a member in any competing German Shepherd Dog (GSD) organization.  At the conclusion of the discussion and vote on this By-Law amendment, the General Board assigned an action item to the Executive Board (EB) to prepare a USCA rule that restricts members who have been elected to a position within USCA from being a member of a competing GSD organization.  The above USCA rule completes the action item assigned to the EB.
