Bloomington Obedience Training Club

BOTC Board of Directors

Bloomington Obedience Training Club is operated according to its by-laws that are approved by the American Kennel Club (AKC). As part of the by-laws, a volunteer Board of Directors meet at least once a month to guide and direct the club operations. Board members are nominated and then elected to serve a two-year term. Generally, Board members have been members of the club for several years and have been active volunteers before deciding to accept a Board position.


Volunteers

Bloomington Obedience Training Club is run and operated by volunteer members who love dogs and dog training and want to share their knowledge with other dog owners. We have over 40 dedicated volunteers from instructors, front desk people, committee chairs, members, and cleaning crews. It takes many dedicated volunteers to continue to provide the quality instruction, equipment and facilities that BOTC is known for. The following list is only a representation of who our member volunteers are and what they contribute to the success of BOTC throughout the year.
