I would like us to appoint Caroline Fralia, Beth Edwards and Hellen Pounds to the currently inactive HHP Breed Committee. They all understand that if appointed they will all bring their memberships current to through the end of this term, December 2014. They are also now interested in running for this position in next year’s election and would have before but were not sure how it all worked. Just as a bit of explanation to you…there are 2 HHP Committees in TICA. One is the regular Breed Section/Committee and the second one is an appointed committee. It is the regular elected Breed Committee that is currently inactive and these three ladies are active in showing HHPs and want to serve on this committee. Just so you can see the 2 Committees, here is the link to the Breed Committee http://www.tica.org/public/breeds/hh/committee.php and here is the appointed Committee http://www.tica.org/members/commitees/hhp.php I gathered names from the RDs at the Annual but I thought that was for the appointed HHP Committee but I see now that is not missing any people. I would hate to start appointing people who don’t even know their name is up for service
