Dalmatian Club of America
Board of Governors Meeting Minutes
February 17, 2007 - O'Hare Hilton Hotel, Chicago, IL

I.  CALL TO ORDER

    The first quarter meeting of the Dalmatian Club of America Board of Governors was called to order at 2:52 PM CST on Saturday, February 17, 2007, at the O'Hare Hilton Hotel, Chicago, IL, by the President, Dr. J. Charles Garvin. DCA Governors present, in addition to President Garvin, were Mrs. Sharon Boyd, Mrs. Meg Ispas-Hennessey, Dr. Irvin B. Krukenkamp, Mrs. Diana Skibinski, and Mrs. Sheila Wymore, as well as AKC Delegate Mr. James W. Smith. Also in attendance was outgoing DCAF President Mrs. Eva Berg.

II.  MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING

    The minutes of the fourth quarter meeting on December 2, 2006 were previously reviewed by the board via electronic mail but not approved due to a conflict that arose regarding the implementation of a motion made that subsequently was found impossible to execute by the deadline stated in the motion. Minute approval was delayed until further into the meeting pending discussion of the conflict.

III.  REPORTS OF THE OFFICERS

    President - Charlie Garvin.

    President Garvin welcomed the three newly elected board members and stated he was looking forward to working with the entire board to ensure a productive and fun year. In addition, he reiterated that both he and the club appreciate all the work that the volunteer board members and committee members do to serve the best interests of the club and the breed we all love.

    One overriding issue of concern to President Garvin is the further decline in AKC registrations for Dalmatians. In 2006, after a small gain in 2005, we fell another 21% in registered dogs, to 860, in 85th place in popularity among all breeds. That is more than a 98% decline since 1993-94. This is sure to affect our club in reduced entries, membership, leadership, and influence for years to come.

    President Garvin went on to remark that there are no doubt many reasons for such an extreme decline, and we probably don’t know all of them. It may be that some of the comments of our breeders and rescue folks have become too negative toward our breed. It may be that some of our breeders try so hard to be responsible that they turn away prospective puppy buyers who could develop into enthusiastic and valuable members of our fancy. It may be that the fear of “overpopulation” or concern about imperfect placements gives out a message that any breeding is a bad thing. We may need to carefully examine our culture to make sure that our Dalmatians do not end up on the endangered species list!

    Vice-President - Ed Flock.

    Mr. Flock had no remarks.

    Recording Secretary - Mrs. Wymore had no remarks.

    Corresponding Secretary - Sharon Boyd.

    Mrs. Boyd presented a two-page written report in which she related having responded to many requests of inquiry and telephone calls since the last meeting of the board on December 2, 2006. Other Secretarial activities included, but were not limited to, writing letters relating to issues regarding board requests and actions taken on December 2, 2006, and the handling of various correspondence relating to numerous separate DCA matters. Mrs. Boyd answered various letters of inquiry received from the public and members of the DCA regarding both membership matters and matters relating to Dalmatian care.

    Mrs. Boyd received a notification from the AKC regarding the Parent Club Health Conference to be held in Atlanta, GA, on July 20-22, 2007. Each club is eligible to send two members, and discussion ensued regarding potential candidates. Mrs. Meg Hennessey and Ms. Mary-Lynn Jensen, Ph.D., were chosen to attend.

    Mrs. Boyd presented a letter from the AKC soliciting an opinion from the club regarding AKC developing and holding an AKC International Obedience Invitational. Mrs. Boyd was directed to reply that this club would support the development of such a trial. As to whether the obedience exhibitors within our club would support such development, Mrs. Boyd was instructed to reply that at the present time we do not know what their response might be.

    The AKC Lifetime Achievement nominations were discussed for the areas of companion events, conformation, and performance. Mrs. Boyd was requested to forward our choice of Ken Nagler for companion events.

    Club committee members and chairs were briefly discussed and the secretary will track any changes as they occur during the meeting.

    Treasurer - Meg Ispas-Hennessey

    Mrs. Hennessey presented a four-part report to the board in which she summarized the financial standing of the club, the specialty, and the status of other activities for which she is responsible.

    1. Mrs. Hennessey itemized the financial reports.

      1. Account Balances, Fiscal Year End 2006 and Year to Date. Mrs. Hennessey presented a review of all Account Balances for the year end; as of December 31, 2006 the total in Bank, Asset and Investment was $73,007.49. Account Balances from January 1, 2007 through February 15, 2007 totaled $69,967.78.

      2. Income and Expense Statements, Fiscal Year End 2006 and Year to Date. Income from January 1, 2006, through December 31, 2006, was $151,195.04 and expenses were $161,536.16 for a net loss of $10,431.12. Income and Expense Statements from January 1, 2007 through February 15, 2007 showed income of $9,373.88 and expense of $12,381.21, for a net loss of $3,007.33 year to date. Mrs. Hennessey explained that the losses reflected the payment in advance of some show expenses for both the 2007 and 2008 specialties and she does not expect us to remain in the negative as the year progresses.

      3. Current financial standings for the 2007 My Old Kentucky Home Specialty were reviewed. With income to date of $2,212.00 and expenses of $15,876.00, the specialty is showing a net loss of $13,664.00.

    2. Mrs. Hennessey reported that the membership booklet is complete and being shipped to the mailing house at this time. Mrs. Hennessey would like to propose a check box on the next dues notice to indicate whether a member wishes to receive a printed copy of the booklet. A second option would be to send it with the Spotter to combine mailing costs. It was also suggested that it be put on the DCA member bulletin board, which is accessible only by password and therefore not available to the general public. Discussion ensued, and a decision was made to put two check boxes on the May dues notice. One would read "Send me a printed copy" and one would read "I prefer to check the web site".

IV.  REPORT OF THE AKC DELEGATE

    AKC Delegate - James Smith.

    Mr. Smith reported that due to a previous personal commitment he would be unable to attend the next delegates' meeting of the AKC. He will keep us apprised of any pertinent information or events that occur prior to our next meeting.

    Dr. Krukenkamp made a motion to approve the Officers’ reports. Seconded by Mrs. Hennessey, the motion was approved unanimously.

VI.  STANDING COMMITTEE REPORTS

    A. Charles Garvin

    1. Ethics - Edward Flock

    Mr. Flock reported that there are no issues at this time. There were no changes made to the ethics committee structure. It was brought to the attention of the board that there are serious flaws in the AKC's method of recording junior showmanship statistics. In the event a junior handler changes breeds and shows a dog other than the one entered, most times no record exists of the change. Mr. Smith reported that Mary Beth O'Neill of the AKC has a vested interest in correcting this situation and he will keep us apprised of any changes made.

    2. Legislative Liaison – Marie Fiore.

    No action required.

    3. Public Relations - Julie Lux.

    No action required. The Westminster K.C. show featured our new and improved commentary on the Dalmatian, although the broadcasting network did misspell "Dalmatian". The secretary wrote a nice letter correcting them on this oversight.

    4. Web Page - Julia Soukup.

    Ms. Soukup submitted a written report to the board of Web site activities, including additions to both the DCA and the Spotter web sites. Ms. Soukup also reported on projects in process. There were approximately 19 additions to the web site. There are only four projects in process, and President Garvin complimented Ms. Soukup on the amount of work she has accomplished for the DCA in this area.

    B. Edward Flock

    1. Junior Showmanship - Mary Miller.

      No action required.

    2. DCA Archival Photographer - Irvin Krukenkamp.

      Dr. Krukenkamp presented a report to the board regarding the photographing/filming of the events at the 2007 specialty show. A high definition DVD of all the conformation events and select other video snippets will again be offered for sale to the fancy after the event.

      The specialty move to Kansas in 2009 presents a problem in transporting the heavy and large amount of equipment required to produce both the newsletter and the DVD. One solution would be to move to a black and white newsletter which could be easily copied at a local print center. Other options need to be discussed prior to the show. One suggestion proposed by the board was to print the newsletter in black and white but post it online in color, which Dr. Krukenkamp agreed would be feasible.

    3. Specialty Steering - Edward Flock.

      1. Mr. Flock reported on several issues that have come before the committee, not the least of which was the wording in the Standing Rules regarding judges. Mr. Flock therefore proposed a wording change. After discussion of the pros and cons, the board separated the suggested wording change into two individual statements.
        Dr. Krukenkamp made a motion that the new wording would read: Superseding all existing rules, an individual will either show or judge at the Specialty, but not both; this rule will apply to all events and judges held in conjunction with the DCA National Specialty, excepting only the Road Trial judges. Seconded by Mrs. Wymore the motion passed, with one vote in the negative.

        Dr. Krukenkamp then made a motion that additional new wording would read: Superseding all existing rules, an officer or board member of the Dalmatian Club of America may judge the Top Twenty event. Seconded by Mrs. Skibinski, the motion passed unanimously.

      2. Mr. Flock reported that negotiations were successfully completed and a contract has been signed with the Lawrence Holiday Inn Holidome for the 2009 national specialty.

      3. As directed by the board, Mr. Flock reviewed the Futurity fees. He discovered that the "Sustaining Fee" outlined in the Futurity rules [as printed in the yearly membership booklet] has never been collected from the outset of the Futurity as no provision was made in the premium list entry blank to note such a fee and remit it to the superintendent. The third, or "sustaining" fee is the whole basis for Eligibility as a concept, and completes that section of the rules. To be eligible, the dog must be "sustained" in the Futurity Stakes. This is done throughout the animal world, particularly in racehorses, and is the meaning of "stake". He suggested a rewording of the clause under Eligibility to clarify how the sustaining fee should be handled. Technically, this is not a raise in Futurity fees, but is correcting an undercharge that has existed for many years due to oversight. The $10 sustaining fee will be added to the total stake and divided among the winning entries.

        Mrs. Boyd made a motion that the new wording in the Futurity rules should read: "…MUST BE INDICATED AS AN EXTRA CLASS in the appropriate space provided on the entry form. The sustaining fee for the Futurity class is an additional fee of $10. This fee will be included as an additional fee and will be part of the total entry fee for the Futurity class at the Specialty." Seconded by Mrs. Wymore the motion passed. This motion pertains to the 2008 Futurity and beyond; the premium lists are already printed and being distributed for the 2007 show and Futurity.

      4. At the August board meeting Mr. Flock and his committee had been charged with studying all aspects of the Futurity and Sweepstakes issues and reporting the results to the board at the December meeting. In particular, they were to study and address the Futurity, how to award more money and make the event more attractive to exhibitors. After extensive discussion of his findings, the board made the decision to eliminate the Sweepstakes in 2008 on December 2, 2006, because it was unanimously recommended by the DCA Steering Committee.

        At the February 17, 2007 meeting of the Board of Governors it was discovered that several issues prevented the implementation of the motion as passed at the December 2, 2006 meeting concerning the future of the Futurity and Sweepstakes competition, not the least of which was the fact that entries/monies had already been accepted for the 2008 Futurity at the current rate, precluding the raising of Futurity rates. Therefore, in order to address this and other issues, the following motion was entertained:

        Mrs. Boyd made a motion to defer the implementation of the board decision to eliminate sweepstakes competition at the national specialty pending further discovery/discussion of the ramifications of this action. Seconded by Mrs. Skibinski, the motion passed unanimously.

        Board members will remain available to the membership to discuss both the pros and cons of this action and solicit feedback.

      5. Mr. Flock proposed the possibility of a 5th and 6th placement in the Futurity classes. The board discussed the feasibility of extending the placements in the Futurity classes and decided that further investigation per AKC rules and regulations would be necessary before a decision could be made.

      6. f. In response to a request, the board agreed that it would be perfectly acceptable for a conformation judge to be present at and observe the road trials at the national specialty.

      7. AKC has granted copyright permission for the DCA to use the AKC VHS slide show on the Dalmatian and Color in the Dalmatian. The board also authorized Dr. Krukenkamp to obtain the various licenses to allow five years of streaming video on the web site.

    4. Specialty Show Committee - Jennifer Cramer.

      Mrs. Cramer presented a written report to the board.

      1. DCA Specialty 2007, 4/28 – 5/3, Ft. Mitchell, KY – Jennifer Cramer.
        Mrs. Cramer reported that everything is progressing on schedule with no issues at this time. The pre-show mailer went out in the last issue of the Spotter and it will also be posted on the web site.

      2. DCA Specialty 2008.
        A list of committee chairs should be available for presentation at the next board meeting.

    5. Top Twenty – Kenneth Berg.

      Mr. Berg tendered his resignation, to take effect after the 2007 event. He presented a short list of potential candidates to succeed him, and after discussion the board decided to approach John Cramer regarding assuming the chairmanship..

    C. Sheila Wymore

    1. AKC Gazette - Sharon Boyd.

      Mrs. Boyd reported that she has completed the column for submission prior to the March 7th deadline, and that there are a couple of articles written by Jan Warren and being held in reserve, one of which the chairman intends to submit for presentation prior to the next deadline date.

    2. Historian - Cheryl Steinmetz.

      No action required.

    3. The Spotter – Paula Olcott.

      Mrs. Olcott reported she is continuing to encourage applicants for the position of editor of the Spotter. Mrs. Wymore made a motion to add Ms. Jan Warren to the Spotter committee. Seconded by Mrs. Hennessey the motion passed.

      Mrs. Wymore reported on the difficulties encountered in obtaining complete reports from the AKC for our Top Spots issue, but stated that all necessary information is now in the hands of the individuals who will determine the standings and the AKC seems to be on board with our requirements.

    D. Sharon Boyd

    1. Regional Club Council – Karen Linsky.

      Dr. Mary-Lynn Jensen will be presenting a report on the Purina regional club weight circle program at the regional club council meeting. The request to approve an individual to fill an existing vacancy was tabled pending further inquiry; the board had not been informed that a vacancy existed.

    2. Standing Rules – Michele Wrath

      Mrs. Wrath sent an electronic copy of the Standing Rules, updated to include the August meeting, to her liaison and it was subsequently forwarded to all board members.

    E. Meg Hennessey

    1. Awards & Trophys – Laura Lightholder.

      Ms. Lightholder reported that trophy sponsorship for the 2007 show is not as complete as it could be. She will be looking at revamping the committee with an eye to getting more aggressive in soliciting trophy donations.

    2. Membership Education – Lori Finlayson.

      No action requested.

    3. Purina Pro Club Challenge – Meg Hennessey.

      Mrs. Hennessey wrote a brief article for the recent issue of the Spotter explaining the regional club weight circle challenge that began on January 1, 2007. There is a notice on the web site bulletin board as well. Each club will automatically receive 25% of the proceeds of their weight circle collection. The club with the highest weight circle poundage will receive 50% of the proceeds of their collection. The balance of the proceeds will go to DCAF to help support DCAF's activities. Laura Kiedaisch has volunteered to count the weight circles.

    F. Eva Berg

    1. Futurity – Steven E. Nielsen.

      Mr. Nielsen submitted a complete report regarding the Futurity nominations for 2007 and 2008. For 2007, 110 litters have been nominated, with 179 puppies nominated so far. Mrs. Kris Benoit was elected to judge the 2007 Futurity competition.

      Mrs. Hennessey will check with Purina to determine whether pins and letters will be received by those members who finished a futurity nominated puppy to its championship in 2006.

      The board encourages Mr. Nielsen to keep up his good efforts to advertise the CHIC Futurity incentive program, which will award additional monetary prizes to the top winners of the 2008, 2009, and 2010 Futurities.

    2. Judges’ Education – Elaine Lindhorst.

      Mrs. Lindhorst reported on upcoming seminars. She also reported a list of twelve new volunteers who have agreed to be ringside mentors at regional shows. The board approved this list of additional mentors without objection.

    3. Public Education – Joanne Nash.

      Mrs. Nash and her committee continue their monthly rotation of answering inquiries that come to the DCA website. Mrs. Pirs requested that the committee list the subject matter of any health problem inquiries to aid the Health and Research committee in assessing the prevalence of problems in the breed.

    G. Rick Miller

    1. Breeder Referral – Karen Wissinger.

      No action required.

    2. Performance Events – Rick Miller.

      Mr. Miller reported on the results of the committee's review of the point schedule for the Governor's Trophy for Performance Events. Dr. Krukenkamp made a motion to accept the recommended scoring procedure as presented by the committee. Seconded by Mrs. Wymore, the motion passed unanimously. The new scoring is to read:

      Agility, Obedience (regular), Rally, Road Trial: 1st place - 10 points; 2nd place - 9 points; 3rd place - 8 points; 4th place - 7 points. High in Trial and High Combined earn an additional 10 points each. A qualifying score in each event (including passing the Coaching Certificate Test) that is not a placement earns 6 points.

      Obedience (non-regular): 1st place - 5 points; 2nd place - 4 points; 3rd place - 3 points; 4th place - 2 points. The equivalent of a qualifying score in a non-regular class that is not a placement earns 1 point. A "qualifying score" will be the same as for regular obedience classes: a minimum score 170 and at least 50% of the points available in each exercise. In classes with multiple-dog entries (brace and team), only one awarding of points will be made, either for placement or qualifying. Team members who belong to different clubs will decide how to distribute the allotted points.

      Tracking: TD or TDX pass - 10 points.

      1. Agility – Holly Waldrop.

        Ms. Waldrop reminded the board that action had been taken at the April 29, 2006 board meeting to support the AKC/Eukanuba Invitational by awarding the AKC Top Dog medallions, including agility. The secretary will check with the AKC to make sure we are listed as supporting this event.

        The committee again requested that High In Trial awards be given for agility competition at the national. The agility committee has been compiling their own statistics and making notation of high in trial for regular and JWW agility, but no medallions have been awarded. Dr. Garvin had placed a call to Sharon Anderson of the AKC, who reported that they do not recommend HIT awards because there are too many factors and too many different levels of competition. The board is referring two questions to the Performance Committee chair and coordinator, Mr. Miller: how is the High in Trial calculated, and how do they propose to cover the trophy cost.

        The committee also requested that the AKC titling class known as FAST be added to the classes offered at DCA. This concept was referred to the specialty steering committee for their consideration at the 2008 specialty, since the premium lists for 2007 have already been printed.

      2. Obedience – Lynn Luikart.

        No action required.

      3. Road Trials – Peggy Strupp.

        The committee requested clarification regarding the policies for posting to the DCA message board. The board determined that if the committee has a posting pertinent to their specific committee, i.e., information regarding upcoming events, changes in Road Trial policy, etc., the information should come from the chair of the committee. If the posting is general and not official, the chair/committee member should preface their comments by stating whether they are speaking for themselves or officially on behalf of the committee. The board encourages use of the DCA bulletin board for member communication.

      4. Tracking – Tom Hacholski.

        The committee requested the option of paying an extra $65 to have the electricity turned on at the tracking site in order to have hot coffee on hand for hospitality. The board was not amenable to the extra expenditure but offered several other options for committee consideration.

    H. Betty Pirs

    1. Health and Research – Betty Pirs.

      No action required.

    2. Statistics - Robert VonMayr.

      No action required.

    I. Diana Skibinski

    1. DCARE – Diana Skibinski.

      Mrs. Skibinski reported on the actions of the committee since the last meeting, stating that the information on the AKC Rescue contact page is now shown correctly. She also reported that Mrs. Beth Winick of Starseeker Dalmatians will be sending the DCA silver medallion to Mrs. Skibinski so it is available for the auction at the DCA banquet.

      Mrs. Skibinski also reported that DCARE has been designated as a recipient of some of the late Vicky Emmel’s finest Dalmatian collectibles. Nancy Reiter has packed up two large storage totes with items of better quality/greater value to bring to the Nationals in 2007. The value of these items will be assessed when they are received and will be placed on eBay to be sold, with the proceeds benefiting DCARE. It was advised that non-profits get a discount for eBay sites and sales, so it may be more profitable to sell them under the DCAF banner and designate proceeds to go to DCARE.

    2. Membership – Mary Widder.

      Ms. Widder submitted a written list of nine names to be considered for membership. Mrs. Skibinski read the list of names to the board. Mrs. Skibinski made a motion accept the nine applications presented. Seconded by Dr. Krukenkamp the motion passed.

      Action was taken at the last board meeting to hold the approval of one application pending the receipt of further information regarding that applicant. In the interest of fairness, due to the low attendance at this board meeting a vote on this application will be taken at the April meeting.

    3. Standard – Barbara Greenspan.

      No action required.

    Dr. Krukenkamp made a motion to approve the reports of the Standing Committees. Seconded by Mrs. Boyd, the motion was approved.

VI.  UNFINISHED BUSINESS

    1. Review of "List of Things to Do"
      President Garvin led a discussion reviewing the “Things to Do” from the last meeting, covering the items that were each board member’s responsibility to handle after the last meeting. Members of the board evaluated and discussed the status of each. Mrs. Hennessey reported that she and Ms. Soukup have worked through the software, set up a domain name, and are ready to activate the email listserve for DCA members. Mrs. Hennessey made a motion that the DCA start an email list - "Members@thedca.info". Seconded by Mrs. Wymore, the motion passed. The DCA webmaster has set up storage space for archiving important files; let Ms. Soukup know if you need storage for information and she will set uup a file folder for you to access and transmit electronic files for storage.

      2. Minutes of the December meeting. Approval of the December minutes had been tabled pending pertinent discussions held during this meeting. The secretary will release the approved minutes for publication with an addendum that summarizes additional board action taken at this meeting which will affect implementation of December motions. Mrs. Hennessey made a motion to approve the December minutes with the addendum as discussed. Seconded by Mrs. Skibinski, the motion passed.

VIII.  NEW BUSINESS

  1. A letter was received from Sharon Rucksdashel inquiring as to whether the "DCA has offered a trophy with the same requirements for the entire year and not limited to the National." Her thought was that small clubs with limited membership have a problem garnering points for the two Governor's Trophies. The secretary was directed to write a letter explaining the concept of the two trophies and the rationale for offering them.

  2. The board discussed the committees and the new liaisons that will take effect re the January board election results. The liaisons will remain the same with these exceptions: Mrs. Sharon Boyd will take Mr. Flock's former committees, Mr. Berg will take Mrs. Berg's former committees, Dr. Jensen will take Mr. Miller's former committees, Dr. Krukenkamp will take Mrs. Pirs' former committees as well as chairman of the Health and Research Committee, and Mrs. Pirs will take Mrs. Boyd's former committees with the addition of Junior Showmanship.

VIII.  FUTURE MEETINGS

The second quarter meeting of the DCA Board of Governors will be on Saturday, April 28, 2007, in Fort Mitchell, KY, commencing at 8:00 AM EDT. Future meeting dates will be determined at the April meeting.

IX. ANNOUNCEMENTS

    None.

X. ADJOURNMENT

    Mrs. Hennessey made a motion that the meeting be adjourned at 7:45 PM CST. Seconded by Mrs. Skibinski, the motion was approved unanimously.

Respectfully submitted,

Sheila Wymore
DCA Recording Secretary
