Part 3: The role and function of the PNW regional director
Part 3: The role and function of the PNW regional director's position within the UScA is both mandated and to a lesser degree prerogative. Below are three guiding principles containing elements of both:
The regional director will further report to the President of the UScA regarding the state of the region as well as avail themselves as a voting member of the UScA executive board.
It should lastly be emphasized that the regional director's office supports and will communicate with every UScA member within the region whether they choose to participate as an individual, organized training group, or a club member who retains enhanced influence through their clubs voting rights. It is among the highest of priorities for the regional director's office to encourage the formation of clubs in the hopes of maximum member participation; this forms the core of our existence. However, any member who intentionally infringes upon or hinders another's right to choose between individual, organized training group, or club participation within the existing framework of UScA rules, will, in the opinion of this office, be acting in a manner "prejudicial to the interests of UScA."
Beyond the aforementioned, all additional UScA requirements, and these few interpretive prerogatives, there is very little that the director's office should or will involve itself.
Best regards,

PNW Regional Director
- The office will issue event authorizations for sanctioned events (trials, conformation shows and helper seminars) to regional clubs in keeping with the stated objectives of USCA.
- The office will actively promote the use of USCA's breed registry program for the German Shepherd Dog.
- The office recognizes and supports that many participate in these sanctioned events not for the purpose of entering a German Shepherd Dog in to the breed registry but as a sport.
- The office is fully supportive of all other breeds and their respective organizations in their schutzhund endeavors where it does not conflict with our primary purpose.
