2019 CCAA National Specialty + Judging Nominations

8/20/2018

 
The CCAA is proud to announce that the 2018 CCAA National Specialty weekend brought in record-setting entries!  Additionally, the location, venue and a great working relationship with the team behind the Victory Lane Classic prompted the CCAA Board of Directors to consider once again holding its 2019 National Specialty weekend in Concord, North Carolina, starting May 30th through June 2nd, 2019.
 
By an overwhelming majority vote, the CCAA BOD voted to hold the 2019 CCAA National Specialty weekend in Concord, North Carolina, in conjunction with the Victory Lane Classic.  2019 would have been held in the south and due to the success of our 2018 event, we felt this was an excellent opportunity and hope you will join us.  In a team effort with the CCAA, the cluster’s all-breed and working group clubs, along with the Cane Corso Club of the Carolinas (CCCC), intend to offer 8 opportunities within 4 days to exhibit your dogs.  Actual scheduling is still being worked on and details will be presented as they become available, including information regarding the annual Breeder’s Cup Invitational, Young Prospect Challenge, Awards Banquet and general membership meeting. 
 
The 2020 CCAA National Specialty is already in its planning stages and the CCAA BOD intends to consider all venue options.  Suggestions and suitable cluster ideas for 2020 are welcomed via email at PaulaZaroCCAA@gmail.com. 

Judging Nominations for the 2019 National Specialty judge open today!

How Are Judges Chosen To Judge CCAA Specialties?
CCAA National Specialty Judges are chosen by the members of the CCAA.  Each year, the CCAA holds a judge nomination voting period, followed by a vetting period for nominees.  Finally, the vetted nominees are presented back to the membership for a final vote.
 
Selection Process in Detail
Current CCAA members are asked to nominate 3 judges they would like to see judge the CCAA National Specialty.  Once nominations close, an Events committee member or members contact the nominees to vet interest and availability on the dates of the upcoming CCAA National Specialty.  After the nominees have been vetted, their names are presented back to the membership and each member gets to vote for 1 judge.  Once voting is closed, the committee contacts that judge with the highest number of votes to double check availability and interest to judge the CCAA National Specialty.  The second highest vote-getter is asked to judge the CCAA Regional Specialty that is held in conjunction with the CCAA National Specialty.  If there are supported entry shows the day before or after the National and Regional, the host kennel club has sole discretion to choose the judges for those shows.
 
Regional Specialty judges are chosen by the host kennel club, which is designating its classes as our Specialty.  Occasionally, a host kennel club will allow our Board of Directors to vote for a judge from a list of judges they have already hired.
 
If you are a member and have not received these emails regarding the selection of judges, please email the Events Director to be added to the distribution list.  Please note, the selections typically take place between January and March for the following year.   
 
Current CCAA National Specialty judge selection rules: Once a judge has judged the CCAA National Specialty, her or she may not judge another CCAA National Specialty for 3 years.  Once a judge has judged a CCAA Regional Specialty that is held in conjunction with the CCAA National Specialty, he or she may not judge another CCAA Regional Specialty for 2 years, unless the judge is assigned by a host kennel club to judge a Regional Specialty.

The Temporary Suspension of Annie Wildmoser

8/17/2018

 
Dear CCAA Members,
 
RE: The Temporary Suspension of Annie Wildmoser
 
Summary
The Cane Corso Association of America Board of Directors (CCAA BOD) recently reviewed a complaint against Annie Wildmoser, CCAA Treasurer and former chair of the working committee.  The complaint alleged that Ms. Wildmoser violated the CCAA BOD’s Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics by her actions on May 2, 2018, and multiple times thereafter.
 
After careful review, the CCAA BOD determined, by majority vote, that Ms. Wildmoser did indeed violate both agreements, and determined, again by majority vote, that her club privileges would be suspended for 45 days beginning August 7, 2018, as a result of those violations.  Furthermore, an email requesting that she send to the ethics director all club records related to her position as treasurer was sent to Ms. Wildmoser on August 9, 2018.  As of August 17, 2018, that request remains unfulfilled.

Until her suspension ends on September 21, 2018, Ms. Wildmoser is not considered a CCAA member in good standing.

Background
The CCAA BOD recently determined that Ms. Wildmoser, in her capacity as chair of the working committee had been operating unilaterally and making decisions without board approval, which is a violation of our bylaws.  The CCAA BOD further determined that the committee was implementing policies, which include, but are not limited to, the calculation and creation of working awards, again without board approval, which is also a violation of our bylaws.  In the course of the discussion, the CCAA BOD discovered that the oversight of working events and calculations falls under the events director, a rule that has been in the bylaws since before Ms. Wildmoser’s tenure, but of which those involved in the situation had been unaware.  As a result of these discoveries, the CCAA BOD moved to have proper procedure and protocol followed, effective immediately, and the events director asked to be part of the working committee.  Ms. Wildmoser refused, stating that she needed to consult with her committee.  The members of the working committee resigned, including Ms. Wildmoser, and the committee was disbanded.  At no time did the events director ask to take over the committee.

Ms. Wildmoser announced her resignation via a post on a CCAA media outlet of which she was the administrator.  The post was made on a Facebook group that gave the impression of being an official CCAA forum, which it was not.  The post was not approved by the board; included information from the most recent meeting, of which the minutes had not yet been approved; presented one-sided information that omitted pertinent facts, and disparaged another board member, undermining that member’s authority and credibility—all clear violations of our Code of Conduct.  Additionally, the comments the post generated escalated the gravity of the violation.  Ms. Wildmoser was asked to remove the post multiple times and refused.  The Facebook group has since been turned over to the CCAA BOD and the post was subsequently removed by the CCAA BOD.

At no time was Ms. Wildmoser asked to step down as the chair of the working committee, nor were her efforts disparaged.  Indeed, the CCAA Board of Directors recognizes and appreciates Ms. Wildmoser’s efforts, commitment and contributions to the club, and values her as a board member.  However, the CCAA’s Officers and Directors have a fiduciary responsibility to ensure that all members, directors, and officers adhere to the CCAA bylaws, Code of Ethics, and Board of Directors’ Code of Conduct.  (See the code of conduct at the end of this memo.)
 
The CCAA BOD planned to make these events public once the August 2018 meeting minutes are approved (during the September 2018 board meeting).  However, since multiple discussions on social media have ensued, we felt the need to present it today.  
 
Like any club, the CCAA cannot operate effectively without bylaws or a code of conduct that members collectively agree to uphold. Hence, we take violations seriously.  Anyone who is found to be in violation the club’s bylaws, code of ethics, or board of directors’ code of conduct will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including suspension.
 
Sincerely,
Steel Campbell, President
Cane Corso Association of America

Below is the code of conduct with violations in red and italics.
 
Code of Conduct for the Board of Directors of the Cane Corso Association of America.

This Code of Conduct is intended to set basic rules of conduct for Board Members in order to maintain and build public confidence in the integrity and objectivity of the Board of Directors and to allow Board Members to exercise their mandate and carry out their duties with confidence, independence and objectivity for the better fulfillment of the Club’s mission/mandate.

During Term of Office
 
****Members are accountable to exercise the powers and discharge the duties of their office diligently, honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the Club rather than in the interests of any other person, entity or region.

****Members will respectfully work with other members in a spirit of harmony and cooperation, giving members courteous consideration of their opinions. Members will be guarded in their comments and avoid attacks on other people’s reputations.
 
Members will represent loyalty to the interests of the CCAA. This accountability supersedes any loyalty such as that to advocacy or interest groups and membership on other Boards or in other Clubs.

Members will disclose conflicts of interest to the Board, annually, and as they arise. If a Member is uncertain about whether a conflict of interest exists, he/she will consult the Chair of the Board for clarification.
 
****Members will not communicate any matter designated as confidential to others, and will abide by the confidentiality of such confidential information in perpetuity.

Members will attend meetings on a regular and punctual basis and be well prepared for each meeting and for the discussion of all agenda items.
 
After Leaving Office

Members will act in such a manner so as not to make use of any information obtained in their capacity as a Member that is not generally available to the public, in order to derive a benefit or advantage for themselves or that of any family member.
 
****Members will respect the confidentiality of information received in the performance of their duties, as well as the confidentiality of the deliberations of the Board.
 
Failure to Comply with the Code of Conduct
 
*****In case of non-compliance of any of the provisions of this Code of Conduct the same shall be reported to the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Club. Where a Member has failed to comply with the Code of Conduct, the Board of Directors shall have the power to issue a warning or to suspend the said Member for a period of time by majority vote, depending on the severity of the compliance failure.  
 
Exceptions

Provisions in the COC may be waived by the CCAA Board of Directors and/or by a vote of the membership based on review and evaluation of specific circumstances which could appear on face to be in violation of the COC. Members are urged to contact the CCAA Board of Directors regarding any noncompliance with the COC.
 
Any amendments or modification to the Code of Conduct

This Code of Conduct is subject to modification. The Board of Directors has the requisite powers and the authority to update and amend the Code of Conduct once every calendar year.
 
Acknowledgement of Receipt of Code of Conduct:

Each of the Board of Directors of the Club shall sign the Code of Conduct and return the same to the Club Secretary.
