President’s Message . . .
Hello CCA Members,
The CCA Board is in the process of restructuring our Board governance, now that the board is smaller it allows us to neaten up our meeting flow to be more in line with Roberts Rules. Your Communique will look different and so will the Ballot. All discussion on members, Committee Chairs and members, legal or contractual matters, and internal discipline matters, will be held in Executive Session at the end of the meeting. All discussion and voting on other items during the meeting will be recorded for the membership to listen to. The results of voting in the Executive Session will also be recorded and reported to the membership.
Please review the revised Code of Conduct as we will be voting on these. The Committee took suggestions from the membership and made adjustments where there were valid concerns. This committee has worked on these for months and I am grateful for their diligence in their revision. I have called a Special meeting of the Board to extend the dues renewal notice from Oct 1 to Oct 15 to allow for the inclusion of the revised Code of Conduct. We are meeting at 9pm on Sept. 29.
Fall is upon us, and it is a time of festivals and harvesting ... enjoy this cooler drier weather. The Eastern Regional Herding trial is this upcoming weekend. Good luck to all and thank you to our volunteers for putting on the event.
Also, to our members who are working with the PR committee and the AKC Meet the Breeds program. The NSC will be recruiting for the 2026 National in Tulsa OK. If you are interested in helping with the production of our National Specialty Show please contact Janie, myself, or Roxann Heit.

NOTICE TO THE BOARD FROM THE PRESIDENT
September 16, 2023
Good morning CCABOD,
I am moving the meeting out a week. We will meet at 9 PM Eastern time, October 4, 2023. The Communique will go out to the Board by Wednesday September 20, 2023. I am asking that all DD's send your members the red line copy to your members now, as Isabel asked. This will allow for more than ample time for their review. I have attached it to this email. Once the Board reviews the Communique, we will send it to the membership. I am planning on Friday the 22nd for that to be sent out. My son will be getting married on the 23rd, so will not be available until Monday!
Thank you All,
Annette Rawlings, President
Collie Club of America

Thank you all for your support.

Well, let’s hope the heat has seen better days. The weather has turned off nice and comfortable again with cool temps, and evenings somewhat crispy, but after this summer, we’ll take it.

Dog shows are again gearing up for additional fun with friends and building your memories. Planning is moving forward on 2024, please check out that our CCA website for information which is being added as their planning is moving along to welcome you in the spring to Peoria.

NOTE: Since the Ballot was presented, the President has contacted those submitting the 2020 bid for Springfield and found they had already released all the dates with the presented showsite and hotel. Therefore, Syracuse has the bid for 2020. However we have requested of them to submit another bid for expenses and income proposed for 2020 since they had agreed to a four day conformation rather than the five day that was originally proposed. Hence, the need for anew clarification of the expense and income statement of the proposal. This will be voted on by the Board.
