USLR's LFA reps report:

There will be a section on the USLR website that will allow password protected comments on the Bylaws document.
The bylaws document in front of us is the result of the work of Muffin Smith (USLR), June Boardman (ALBA) and John Ianuzzi (LANA). It represents the compromise of three organizations.
There are some minor format consistencies that still need to be edited within the bylaws document.
The consensus is that all the registered horses will be rolled into LFA regardless of with which organization they are currently registered.
There is no way to pick out high points of compromise. There are reasons this took three years and represents all compromise.
PLEASE read these bylaws and MAKE COMMENTS!

My personal comment: I am very glad to have bylaws in our hands! I applaud all those involved.

This document is going out for a 30-day review of the membership. Peruse with a critical eye. The new board will go through a process of modification and completion. Concerns will be address and incorporated into the document.

A question was asked about the timeline for the future that will begin and be discussed at the LFA meeting in a few minutes.
Lyn: When this document goes out, you will all receive it by e-mail. When it is e-mail, the USLR will comment in the e-mail about the highlights of some areas that the USLR board feels should be looked at closely from the USLR's perspective.

Diana: There is a process to modify the bylaws down the road. So, as we move forward, they can be amended later even if there is a section that you are not 100 percent happy with right now. It can be amended and improved in the future. Don't let some little detail stop this again.

Tim: USLR is still in business. We require your participation in this process still. We need your continued support, not just moving forward in the LFA, but also your participation in the USLR.

There is an interim board in place for LFA and is moving towards a voted LFA board in the future.

Meeting adjourned!
