ANNOUNCEMENT…CCCI International Relations Committee

Worldchow has an exciting announcement that pertains to all chow fanciers, breeders, companion owners,and judges alike .  Anyone who is craving more information about  our breed in all areas of interest will  benefit greatly from a new committee formed within  the Chow Chow Club Inc.

Heres the scoop.  Following many frustrating attempts to obtain quick and accurate chow data in the past, with the most recent incident being health and structure research for  the UK Standard Change issue, Love Banghart pulled together a proposal to present to the CCCI Board of Directors at the National this past May 2009.

Loves’ request entailed the forming of a new committee ..now  officially called the
Chow Chow Club Inc International Relations Committee  or CCCIIRC

Met with enthusiastic response from our current CCCI president Mike Brantley as well as the entire Board of Directors, approval was unanimously given , assigning  Love Banghart  as Chairperson, and just recently the MISSION STATEMENT (below) was approved unanimously  as well

Yours truly was “over the moon” when I heard this news as you all know my thoughts on International Communications and archiving.  Love invited me to work closely with her on the committee and I am now happily immersed in the building of a new website for the International Chow Library and Archives.

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission and goal of the CCCI International Relations Committee is to promote international communication between Chow Chow fanciers worldwide via their regional chow chow clubs.

This will be accomplished through exchanging educational resources regarding the Chow Chow breed, health research materials, and an international reference library.

The goal of the communication is to enhance the chow communities’ awareness of available information on chow chow related issues, structure, health and movement; promotion of showing and breeding for type and function of the chow chow based on breed specific facts.

In the meeting of these goals, club members will be more responsive and consistent in replying to legal and health issues as they arise in geographical areas worldwide.

HISTORY

The CCCI International Relations Committee was formed by the CCCI Officers and board of directors on April 25, 2009.

Implementation of this plan will entail the following steps:

• CCCI committee formed
• Committee Mission Statement developed and approved
• Develop initial international club/ contact list
• Mail introduction letter and package of information to each international chow club
• Request each club to designate an International Relations Associate
• Build a comprehensive online CHOW CHOW reference library to be viewed by all seeking reliable information
• Solicit and collect materials for inclusion in the library from chow fanciers worldwide.
• Contribututors to the archives and library will be given full credit for their submissions

Thank you Love and the CCCI Board for making this happen!! This project  is ground breaking, cutting edge, and will involve the networking of International chowists as we have never seen before to make these long awaited archives a stellar success.

Much more information regarding  this CCCI project will be announced  in a series of Worldchow Magazine updates
