February 16, 2022 was a sad day in the history of the sport of purebred dogs. Former chairman of the AKC Board of Directors, Ron Menaker, passed away. I am not sure any of us understand how much he will be missed by everyone who participates in this pastime we all love so much.

Ron’s absence from the sport before his death gave us a glimpse of how things would be without him at the helm of the board he chaired for so many years. The business experience and financial management expertise he brought to the American Kennel Club when he joined the board as Vice Chairman in 2001 served the organization well, and for nearly two decades–off and on–he helped steer AKC through some very difficult times.
