"Proud Canadian Kennel Club member" What does this mean?

CKC Elections are this month - please open those big white envelopes and vote NOW!! I stated in my bio that I was a "Pround Canadian Kennel Club member" What does this mean? What needs to be done to get members to feel this way? I have been a member since the early 70's, many things have changed but I think I speak for most when I say the CKC has not kept up with the times. I would like to s...ee the "good ol' boys club" mindset change to understand what the new generation of members want and need wherever possible. More technology, more interested and engaged Directors, fiscal responsibility just to name a few required changes.

I value the titles that my dogs (and others) can achieve based on their registration with the CKC. I also value the judging licence I have obtained through the CKC and all the knowledge that came with learning histories and breed standards. That said, I too feel the frustrations that the club can and has caused me as a member/breeder/participant, due to inefficiencies, lack of technology and maybe most importantly I think in many ways the CKC Board has lost touch with the membership.

I feel my business (as well as dog) knowledge will provide good guidance in helping the club manage its' finances better and be a smoother running organization.......This will benefit all club members and over time make us all proud members.....
