In response to requests by Javier Conde, President of ANCCE, at meetings held with USPRE Board of Directors in January 2013, for a more democratic process for USPRE leadership selection by Breeder Members, and for a corporate structure more in keeping with other ANCCE Affiliate Associations, the Board of Directors has exercised its right, provided by the Bylaws of the USPRE Association, to form a committee designated for service of American breeders’ needs in particular, led by breeders who are appointed by the membership, and which is funded for programs and services as the committee sees fit The BEC is founded today, February 13, 2013, at the Annual Meeting of the USPRE Board of Directors in Wellington, Florida, to be ratified by the Voting Membership on February 14, 2013 at the Open Annual Meeting in Wellington, Florida
