BCSA
Board of Directors |
|
I
have been a member of BCSA since I got my first Border Collie in 1997. I
had planned for her to be “just a pet” but it didn’t quite turn out that
way . . . first we moved to the country and now I have 5 Border Collies
and have bred 6 litters, a flock of sheep, a full set of agility
equipment and lots of Border Collie friends all over the country and the
world. I primarily compete with my dogs in performance events including
herding, agility, tracking, rally and obedience. I also show my dogs in
conformation.
I have been very active with many aspects of BCSA from chairing committees to bringing tracking to the specialty to chairing or co-chairing the national specialty three times as well as serving as vice president and most recently as president on the Board of Directors. I am most passionate about the health and welfare of our wonderful breed. To that end, I am working on meeting the requirements to judge Border Collies in conformation and also to judge junior showmanship, rally and tracking.
In my life outside of dogs, I work full time as a letter carrier for the United States Postal Service. In life outside of BCSA, I am a member of my local obedience, tracking and conformation clubs. I am also a founding member of an all-breed herding club and we hold a trial for the club at my home each fall.
I have enjoyed my time on the board and look forward to moving into the role of past president where I will once again have a vote in matters. I hope to help to continue to guide the BCSA in a positive direction where we are constantly striving to improve the health, welfare and well-being of our wonderful breed.
