"did she realize Shauna's crookedness and immoral ways? Why did she separate from Shauna? Did she feel that Shauna was gonna bring the both of them down. she would keep covering Shauna's ass."

From the CCAA Constitution

(l) I will not make accusations or try to discredit other breeders, exhibitors or CCAA members to anyone but the CCAA Club Officers directly.

B). An Officer or Director may be removed by the members on grounds listed above only by the vote of those members eligible to vote for the Officer or Director. This procedure may be initiated by a written petition addressed to the Secretary and signed by 25% of the membership in good standing. Such election shall be conducted within three weeks of the date when the petition was received by the Secretary and conducted by the guidelines outlined in Article 4, section 4 part (d).Vote counting must be witnessed by three members in good standing that are not members of the BOD and that are approved of by a vote of 2/3 of the BOD (less the member in question). If the Secretary is the officer in question, votes will go to Director #2 for tally (votes may also be sent to an independent firm for counting).

There need to be a few more questions answered this morning.
After the events at the nationals, with the BOD, and Shauna's actions when I got home I decided something needed to be done. I filed a complaint against Shauna and Derek doing it according to the by-laws as stated above. When nothing was done within a 10 day time period and I was not sent the membership list I resigned to pursue other options.
As stated above in the constitution I was not free to talk to anyone about Shauna's actions without breaking the code of ethics so to tell everyone what is going on the only option I had was to resign. My complaint was getting nowhere. The BOD was not going to allow a complaint and was breaking the rules set forth by the constitution. So now we have a whole BOD that is liable in a lawsuit for asking me to resign without cause, for not giving me a fair hearing before asking for my resignation, for unfounded accusations, for not giving me the membership list as allowed in the grievance process. We have 4 individual BOD members liable in a lawsuit for their individual actions in this whole mess.
All of this mess is because Shauna DeMoss has broken every part of the constitution and code of ethics you can possibly break and the board would not hear a complaint. The self serving ways of certain BOD members needs to end and the general membership needs to be taken into consideration above the needs of the BOD.

The best thing you as club members can do is vote at this years elections, nominate people who you know will take the club and not themselves into consideration. Every BOD and regional VP is up for re-election this year by the CCAA constitution rules.
File your grievances against the board members if they have done something to you individually, file every type of complaint you can file. Make the BOD follow the rules set forth in the constitution, Make the BOD post their monthly minutes and treasurers report. Every meeting and every vote has to be made public this is not some secret club. The BOD works for you not the other way around. Give a crap and be loud and be heard. This is not the Good Ol' Boys Club any more this is an AKC parent breed club that has to follow the rules or pay the consequences.
