Juniors
Report: Chair Amy Bray asked to present the following to the Board:
I would like to state I feel we had a very nice Jrs turnout for National this year. I think the Jr seminar was successful and each Jr took something away from it. We are in the process of working on something for next year, possibly a Jrs grooming seminar. I know time and space will be a little harder in a new venue in 2023.
Jr Chair request:
Over the past couple of years the Jr committee has had successful fundraising efforts. Our 2022 Jr National Winner has qualified for The National show in Orlando. I’d like to request 250.00, out of the Jr fund, to help get her there. I think she’d be an excellent representative of our breed in Jrs and our Breed ring.
Discussion: Would like a policy that states, any Junior, who is an ACCC member that both wins Best Junior Handler at the ACCC National and qualifies for National Show is eligible for $250 reimbursement for travel. This will be an ongoing opportunity to support Junior Showmanship. Reimbursement will come directly from ACCC funds dedicated for Junior Showmanship.
Motion #2: Peg Shaw motioned to proceed with $250 travel expense to Junior Lily Jorgensen, who won the 2022 ACCC National Best Junior Handler and qualified for the 2022 Orlando National Juniors Championship. She will be reimbursed after the show upon exhibiting in Juniors with a contingence that a policy is written for future years. Steve Kelly seconded. Motion Carried
