brtca committees & volunteers
The BRTCA relies on the dedication and enthusiasm of volunteers to help carry out the Club’s mission. Committees are an important part of this effort, supporting a wide range of activities, events, and initiatives that benefit the Black Russian Terrier.
Each year, the Board of Directors may establish standing or special committees to assist with the work of the Club. These committees operate under the guidance of the Board and are made up of volunteers who share a commitment to the breed and the Club’s goals.
Committee service is flexible and may be adjusted as needed to best support Club activities. The Board may also seek input from members when gathering feedback or making decisions that affect the Club.
We welcome and encourage member involvement—committee participation is a meaningful way to contribute, share your skills, and help support the future of the Black Russian Terrier.
