I'll give this a shot till Linda comes back.

Linda is committee chair for Research and development, and Merl Whitebrook is committee Chair for "New Ideas"..

From the way I understood, the 2 committees work hand in hand where 'new ideas committe' proposes "New Ideas", and R&D committee figures out if it will work and how to implement it. R&D can also comes up with new stuff and runs it by Merl.

I'm sure theres more to it but I think thats the abbreviated version.

(As of this month, I'm on both of them too... so speak up!! )

There are many goals which we discussed over the weekend. I am happy to be appointed as the Rep Committee Chairperson. I hope that we will coninue the excellent work of of Phil Morrow and Bunny Tuttle.

We hope to have a Rep Training Model in place by Spring. We hope to establish Continuing Rep Training this year. But of the greatest importance we hope to make the terms "Contest Rep" synonymous with "Customer Service."

If there is anything I can do for you do not hesitate to e-mail or contact me. If you see good things, let me know. If you have a problem please lets resolve it before it becomes a major issue.

I look forward to being of service and am flattered to be able to serve you as a member of the Board of Directors of KCBS.
Thank you for your confidence in me.

Was a decicision made regarding moving either the Zoo-B-Que or the Big Pig Gig so that there are not 2 events less than 50 miles from each other on the same weekend vying for the same pool of cooks?

Thanks for the update...

Papa Hog...I was sitting in the meeting last weeked and Mike Lake took the action to talk to the two organizers to figure out a solution. No action was taken beyond that ....except that all the BOD acknowledged that this is going to be growing situation as more contests are sanctioned. Hope that helps, and mods sorry if you only wanted BOD to answer questions here...
