The CBCC provides two categories of membership; Regular (voting) and Associate (non-voting).
Associate Membership is defined as any new member or any member who accumulates less than 4 points during
the fiscal year as defined by the Point Schedule below. Associate members may attend meetings and club functions and
are encouraged to participate in club activities as much as possible. Associate members will receive newsletters via
U.S. Mail or e-mail and any other information sent out by the Club to the membership except ballots. Associate
members are not eligible to vote at general membership meetings or on matters resolved by ballot via U.S. Mail. As
such, Associate members will not be counted against the 20% minimum membership attendance at meetings required for a
quorum by the CBCC By-laws. An associate member can notify the Club Secretary in writing of his or her intention to
change membership status to Regular (voting) any time during the fiscal year when the member has accumulated 4 points
as defined by the Point Schedule below. The notice to the Secretary must include documentation of the accumulation of
4 points. Along with such notice, the member applying for Regular (voting) membership must submit a check made
payable to the CBCC for the difference between Regular (voting) and Associate (non-voting) Membership dues.
Regular (voting) Membership shall have all the benefits of Associate Membership and be defined as a
member who actively takes part in club activities, who is eligible to vote at general membership meetings and on
issues resolved by ballots sent and received by the CBCC via the U.S. Postal Service. Regular (voting) Membership
shall be available to a member who accumulates 4 points based on the following point schedule during the previous
fiscal year, January through December 31.
Point Schedule:
4 Points -- Officers, Show Chair, Newsletter Editor, Rescue Chair, Newsletter Production
2 Points -- Committee Chair, Webmaster, Hosting Events, Planning Events (Specialty Dinner, Herding Event, Fun Match,
etc.) and other Special Events as approved by the Board.
1 Point -- Board Member, Attendance at a General Membership or Board Meeting, Serving on a Committee, Helping with a
Rescue Situation.
Points accumulated in excess of 4 during any fiscal year cannot be carried into any successive fiscal
year.

notified, kept informed and can have input.
