Election Committee Announcement
NSFRC Members Elect New Leadership and Approve Four Amendments
The 2026 National Silver Fox Rabbit Club election concluded on August 31, with 150 members participating.
Risa Bayliff was elected President with 106 votes. Michael Petersen received 42 votes, and two presidential ballots were left blank.
Five candidates sought three positions on the Board of Directors. Members elected Emily Kuhn with 106 votes, Sue McGonegal with 93 votes, and Ashley Carrube with 93 votes. Bill Brockman received 77 votes, and Rebah Heino received 50 votes.
Members also considered five proposed amendments to the NSFRC Constitution and Bylaws. Four were adopted:
- Amendment 1, exempting the Secretary and Treasurer from the general term limit, passed with 85.33% approval.
- Amendment 2, creating a limited term-limit exception when no qualified candidate files for an office, passed with 91.33% approval.
- Amendment 3, establishing updated discipline and due-process procedures, passed with 71.14% approval.
- Amendment 5, clarifying and aligning the provisions governing mail and secure electronic voting, passed with 93.96% approval.
Amendment 4, which proposed regional representation for directors, received 66.44% approval. It required a two-thirds vote and fell one affirmative vote short of adoption.
Thank you to every member who participated, each candidate who offered to serve, and everyone who helped administer the election. We congratulate the newly elected leaders and look forward to working together for the continued growth of the club and the Silver Fox breed.
Big news, Silver Fox breeders!
The Silver Fox have officially been removed from the rare breed list in ARBA’s just-released update. This marks a huge milestone in conservation and growth for our breed. The Silver Fox were the first breed ever to graduate from The Livestock Conservancy’s list — we literally helped write the rules that made it possible. This is a true success story, and we couldn’t be prouder. Check out ARBA’s official post for the full announcement — and let’s celebrate this incredible achievement together. This success is the result of every breeder’s dedication, collaboration, and hard work. Together, we’ve proven what’s possible when a community unites behind a purpose.
Congratulations to everyone that has contributed to this historical achievement!
STAY FOXY!
