Kim seconded. Motion passed unanimously.

Brenda Nyx had requested a mandatory separate Open Class for Pepper/Salt. The Board had passed a motion in January to revisit the 2004 mandatory open class Pepper/Salt at all AKC

Conformation shows. Kim found out that it is not mandatory for any color to be split. It was suggested to Kim that we approach all superintendents for anyone that is interested to split the class. Same with local kennel clubs. We should be mindful of splitting for Open Dog and Open Bitch at our regional specialties.

Christina will be looking into setting up a Midwest Specialty with some bigger shows in the spring.

Patricia is doing a supporting entry for Mother's Day weekend for the Western Regional.

Lori is to report on our National at our next Board Meeting.

E Voting- Doug is still working on the rewrite of our constitution to allow for E Balloting by way of electronic transmission with information from the AKC. He will be working to separate Constitution and Bylaws from Breed Standard.

Non renewing members- Bernie is contacting members that have not renewed. Membership is down a small amount but there are reasons such as dual household to single households, etc.

Regional Directors Report: Cornelia reported that everything is moving forward for the Southern Regional Specialty. Onofrio does not have all info necessary even though it has been previously provided. All info will be provided again. Cornelia is emailing Kim list of trophies. Account to be opened with Wells Fargo for the Specialty.

Janine is starting to investigate Syracuse in November for the Eastern Regional Specialty? waiting for call back from kennel club as nothing is on the AKC site yet. No info on Panel yet .

New Business: Kim has written a health survey for Giant Schnauzers. OFA is reviewing. The survey will be sent to the board for review.

Delegate Expenses ? Howard mentioned that in the past the treasurer has a $200 limit for payment of expenses without the Board approval. The larger expenses were preapproved by the board for the delegate. Howard made a motion to preapprove delegate expenses up to $750 for the March, June & September meetings and up to $1,400 for the December meeting. Brenda seconded Kim abstained as she is our AKC delegate Motion passed unanimously.
