2 Authorize the Board of Directors to commission an artist to design a logo for the WRA. (1998)
   
3 Authorize the NRD to enter into Negotiations with other straight racing organizations for the purpose of combining those organizations.  The results of the negotiations will be voted on by the members to accept or reject the results of the negotiations. (1998)
   
4 That the parent club have a “starting box reimbursement” program.  That any new (has not held a WRA, or other racing venue such as CWA or NAWRA meet) club which acquires starting boxes prior to or within thirty-six months of their first race meet, the meet which made them a WRA member, and continues to hold WRA meets would be reimbursed $100 for each of their first three WRA meets.  (2000, updated 2004)
   
5 That the parent club make a $200 charitable donation each year.  This could be to the AWC Health Foundation, to a Vet School or other organization that would ultimately benefit Whippets.  Each club could submit one candidate and they could be voted on at each year’s national, with the check then going out prior to year-end. (2000)

8 That the parent club increase it’s annual “trophy donation” for the WRA National from $100 to $200.  This would put some of the per-capita money back with the clubs. (2000)
   
9 That the Board explore the feasibility of Incorporation and/or Tax Exempt Status.  If the findings are favorable the WRA will file for either or both Incorporation and Tax Exempt Status, and will change the wording of the Constitution and Bylaws at that time. (2001)
   
10 That the parent club initiate a program of “Top Ten” awards.  This would consist of presenting plaques to all of the dogs finishing in the top 10 for each year, beginning with 2001. (2001)

12 That all "official" mailings to all clubs (rule books, ballots etc) be sent "return receipt requested".  Rationale is to KNOW that all clubs are receiving all official documents. (2002)
