Each member club of the American Kennel Club exercises its voting
privileges through a representative known as a delegate. The
delegates form the legislative body of the AKC, making the rules
and electing from their body the individuals who serve on AKC's
Board of Directors.
The delegate represents the JCCA at the quarterly meetings of the
AKC delegates. The delegate is expected to provide a timely report
to the board after each quarterly meeting. The delegate is
responsible for advising the board of: proposed amendments to the
AKC bylaws or AKC rules, changes to legislation or policy that may
affect Japanese Chin owners or the dog fancy in general, outcome of
votes, and elections and appointments to the AKC Board of
Directors. The delegate shall vote with the best interests of the
JCCA and when applicable, seek voting instruction from the JCCA
Board of Directors.
To better understand the roles and responsibilities of delegates,
see "The
Importance of Your AKC Delegate."
Chair: Cecilia Resnick
The AKC Gazette breed
columnist writes quarterly articles for publication in the AKC Gazette breed columns. The
column is the club's opportunity to share educational information
about the breed. The columnist should write about topics of
interest to the Japanese Chin fancy at large as well as those of
specific interest to judges and breeders. The columnist will either
write the articles or solicit them from a guest columnist. Articles
are expected to be a positive representation of the JCCA and the
Japanese Chin and should not be used to promote a particular person
or kennel. Articles must conform to the AKC Gazette guidelines and be
submitted in time to meet the AKC
Gazette deadlines. A copy of each quarterly article should
be sent to the JCCA Board of Directors.
