Friends, I am running for a position on the Board of Directors for the NSFRC and would love your support!
Dear Silver Fox Family,
I am honored to submit my name for your consideration for a position on the Board of Directors of the NSFRC. My love for the Silver Fox breed, combined with a deep passion for fostering the growth of the breed and the next generation of breeders, has inspired me to seek a role where I can contribute more directly to our fabulous, foxy family!
Throughout my years as a Silver Fox breeder, I have gained valuable experience and insights that I am eager to use to benefit the Club. I firmly believe that youth are the future of this hobby, and have prioritized donating high-quality animals to serious youth breeders in the interest of promoting their growth and enjoyment of this hobby, while ensuring the long term sustainability of the breed. Today, I only raise Silver Fox in my barn, and firmly believe they are the best well-rounded rabbits for meat, fur, and youth projects due to their docile and friendly natures.
Locally, I have worked to build a strong and inclusive Silver Fox community by participating in collaborative breedings to help improve the quality and consistency of our lines. I’ve sponsored awards and promoted local specialty shows, and have travelled near and far to boost Silver Fox entry numbers on the West Coast. Helping to expand and support the breed on the West Coast has been a rewarding part of my journey, and I’m excited about the opportunity to do even more on a national level.
As a potential Board member, I am dedicated to:
Advocating for the best interests of all Silver Fox breeders and exhibitors.
Fostering open communication and collaboration within the Club.
Ensuring the long-term sustainability and growth of the Silver Fox breed.
Encouraging and mentoring youth breeders.
Improving the overall quality of the Silver Fox breed and supporting best practices.
Helping to cultivate a harmonious and productive environment within the Club.
Focusing on what truly matters: the rabbits themselves. It’s all about the rabbits and, after all, they are why we’re all here.
I am hopeful for the opportunity to work with the NSFRC and the larger Silver Fox community to build upon our successes and chart an ambitious path forward. Thank you sincerely for considering my petition for a position on the Board of Directors.
With gratitude and best regards,
Ashley Carrube
