PLEASE NOTE:
Your membership in the GSDCA does not take effect immediately. Your name will appear as an applicant in the next issue of our magazine. This allows current members to comment. Thirty to sixty days after your name is published, if no negative responses are received, the membership process will be complete and you will receive a membership number (and your website login info).
Beginning with the 2021 election the GSDCA will be implementing an electronic ballot for our elections and other items that are voted on by the membership. The application form includes an opt in, opt out selection for electronic ballots. Opting In saves you time, paper and postage, If you do not wish to cast your votes electronically you may select the Opt Out option. You must select one or the other.
