The GWPCA is seeking a new Committee Chair

The GWPCA Board of Directors is seeking a chair for German Wirehaired Pointer University committee to take over the reins from Joy Brewster. Joy did an outstanding job in creating the position and organizing the first three events.

The first GWPU was held with the National Events in ’08 with the goal of offering educational opportunities to the breeders, owners, exhibitors and members of the GWPCA. The University is modeled on a similar program used by the Basset Hound Club of America. It is one of the many services provided to GWPCA members.

The Chair of the Committee develops topics of interest and educational opportunities for the GWPCA membership at the annual National Events. Topics for the event are proposed to the NEC, then forwarded to the BOD for approval. The Chair plans, organizes and schedules the event in conjunction with the National Events Committee and Local Host Club (when appropriate).

The position requires 5+ years membership with the GWPCA, attendance at GWPCA national events for a minimum of five years, an understanding of the issues of interest to breeders and owners, ability to work independently and as part of the National Events Committee team, willingness to contact speakers, negotiate contracts and solicit input from the membership.

Members who are interested in the position should submit information and notice to GWPCA Secretary Michelle Boyd at gatewayfmc@sbcglobal.net by

 

The German Wirehaired Pointer Club of America (GWPCA) is an AKC member club that brings together breeder and owners of German Wirehaired Pointer's (GWP's) across the country. It is our goal to bring out the natural qualities of the German Wirehaired Pointer to perfection; to urge members and breeders to accept the standard of the breed as approved by the American Kennel Club as the only standard of excellence by which GWP's shall be judged; to do all in its power to protect and advance the interests of the breed by encouraging sportsmanlike competition at dog shows, field trials and obedience trials and to conduct sanctioned and licensed specialty shows, field trials and obedience trials under the rules of The American Kennel Club.
