The ABA Government/Club Relations Committee was created in order to address a need of the membership to be informed and involved in legislative issues.  The committee shall always be subject to the final authority of the Board and ABA By-Laws as it functions.  Its primary purposes will be to keep the membership informed via newsletter, email correspondence, and website regarding pending local and national legislation; to suggest to the board current legislation for the ABA to endorse/oppose and then to draft letters of endorsement/opposition to the appropriate legislative bodies/legislators; to educate the membership regarding how to respond to unfavorable legislation and encourage favorable legislation in their communities; to encourage the membership to educate the public on the bullmastiff breed; and to maintain a correspondence with the other breed clubs and AKC on pertinent legislative issues.
