From the NAFA Chairman of the Board
Kim Davis <kim.davis@...>
NAFA is committed to providing an inclusive environment at our events for all our participants (both canine and human). Legislation that legalizes discrimination against any portion of our population is unacceptable and the consequences of such legislation should be addressed. We have a mandate to protect the participants of our sport from potential harassment and discrimination, as evidenced by our stance against tournaments hosted in BSL communities. The situation in Indiana, which affects not only the LGBT community but all of us in NAFA, should not be overlooked.
We expect this legislation will face legal challenges and we hope to see it overturned. Organizations with a larger financial impact in Indiana are already leading the effort to overturn this law by boycotting the state, but if this law is allowed to stand, NAFA will reevaluate the presence of CanAm in Indianapolis.
We are contractually obligated to the Indiana State Fair Grounds for 2015 and 2016, but will certainly reevaluate this relationship if this legislation stands. Until that time, we will do all we can to defend those who could be negatively affected. In the meantime, we encourage our participants to patronize businesses in Indiana that display signs indicating "This Business is Open to Everyone."
We look forward to continuing playing flyball in a diverse and inclusive community. We hope to see you ALL at CanAm.
Sincerely,
Leerie Jenkins Chairman, North American Flyball Association, Inc.

UPDATE: CanAm title ribbons
Kim Davis <kim.davis@...>
Hi Flyballers!
CanAm title ribbons are all sorted and in their envelopes to be mailed! Hoping to make it to the post office tomorrow (Friday).
In a weird turn of events, I know there is a missing order. The envelope inadvertently went home with someone and they mailed it to me and I never received it. SO - if you filled out a form and gave me a cheque, and it has NOT been cashed, please contact me and I will get it sorted out.

Comment period for Supervising Judge application for Steve Heine, Placentia, CA is now open.
Kim Davis <kim.davis@...>
The NAFA(r) Judges Committee has received an application for supervisory judging status from Steve Heine of Placentia, CA. Comments on this applicant should be directed to the Judges Committee at judges@flyball.org.
Comments received will be reviewed by the Judges Committee and the Board of Directors. Names will remain private unless permission is granted for them to be disseminated to the applicant. The Committee will make a recommendation to the Board of Directors for consideration at the January BOD meeting. * Effective October 1, 2009, the Board adopted new rules on considering applications for supervising judges. The rules were adopted to give the Judges Committee and Board of Directors the opportunity to make a more informed decision on supervising judge applications. The new rules call for notice of the application to be posted on the NAFA(r) webpage for a period, ideally of seven days, to allow for comment to the Board. Applicants are also required to meet with the Judges Committee via teleconference to discuss his or her application. Prospective judges must possess all of the best qualities one could want in a Supervising Judge . . . fairness, firmness, safety minded, a good attitude to the sport, the participants, the spectators, a sense of responsibility to the sport and as a representative of NAFA(r). Prospective judges must be willing and able to mentor new and apprentice judges, answering questions, challenging apprentices, and generally overseeing the education of the new judge. The sharing of experiences and the ability to explain rulings and other nuances of the sport are an absolute must. Prospective judges must have excellent measuring skills since his or her measurement is the deciding factor for any height cards. It is understood that the meeting of all of the necessary criteria for Supervisory status does not mean an automatic approval by the Board of Directors. It is not the intention of the Board to appoint great numbers of Supervisory Judges in any area.
