Nominating Committee

The Nominating Committee is an ad hoc committee that exists each year. Membership is voluntary and all Brittany people who nominate worthy Brittany dogs or people to the BFTHF are MEMBERs. We ask everyone to participate.

Election Committee

The Election Committee performs a significant task and only the best and the most knowledgeable Field Trial Ch’ship people will be asked to participate in its activities. It is only natural that these people be drawn from the ranks of people actively engaged with Ch’ship field trials.

The current plan is to have an Election Committee consisting of a minimum of 30 persons. The Election Committee will be drawn from the following sources:

1. BFTHF Board of Directors
2. People instrumental in the conduct of Brittany Open Championships
3. Knowledgeable people selected or approved by the BFTHF Board of Directors. Included in this list should be suitable  reporters and Brittany field trial judges. This list is used to assure that there is a 30 person membership in the Election Committee.

From the Chairman:

"In fulfilling the BFTHF business, I write to individuals asking for their help in the BFTHF processes. The people I write to have been identified as being reliable, knowledgeable, and willing to participate!  We are always looking for the input of an individual and there is the fear that a club’s consensus may dilute an individual’s opinion! Therefore, no individual should ever expect to get a ballot simply because they belong to a given Club or organization!"
