Membership Chair: Robyn Powley requested that some of the membership duties be returned to the treasurer. Ensuing discussion resulted in an agreement that the membership chair responsibilities should remain as originally set up.

Webpage: Richard Whorton suggested BCSA's web page be moved to a virtual website on a commercial server. The advantages would include easier access, more space, and more features. The cost would be around $350 per year. The board approved the move, and Richard is currently investigating various hosts.

BCSA Elections: Helen Phillips made a motion that an outside agency tabulate results from BCSA elections. BCSA's membership has grown, and elections have become more complicated to handle. Having an outside agency do the tabulations would circumvent a number of logistical problems with our current procedure. This proposal is being further discussed by the board.

1999 Specialty: Kelly Whiteman is still looking for someone to serve as Show Secretary.

Supported Entry: The Moberly, MO, Kennel Club has asked BCSA to sponsor a supported entry at their show on October 9 & 10, 1999 (the weekend prior to our national specialty). This has been referred to our Specialty Chair and Club Events Committee for a recommendation.

Breeder Referral: After some discussion, Davida Dzierla proposed a code of ethics to be used for our referral service. Anyone wanting to be listed as a breeder with BCSA would have to agree to and sign the breeder referral code of ethics. The board is currently considering this proposed code of ethics.

Treasurer & Membership Chair: Membership Chair Robyn Powley requested that the board clarify the duties of the treasurer and membership chair. Although the previous board set up a membership chair to handle membership responsibilities, the Bylaws still list these duties as responsibilities of the treasurer. Janet Lewis moved that we keep the membership chair as it is currently defined and revise the Bylaws to be consistent with our current membership policy. The board approved this motion.

Other:
Debbie Spence reported that she had received a request for the board to nominate individuals for Pedigree Breeder Services and for Who's Who in Canine America. Both requests are under discussion, as are possible policies related to such requests.
