I recently visited the GSDCA-WDA web site and I was amazed to see that our National judges this year also hold office with the WDA.. Is this an indication that we are converting over to the WDA ? Bob Trocki +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I don't have a problem with people belonging to both organizations, as long as the decision making from one group doesn't become influenced or polluted by the other group. My question is what is the real association between these two organizations. Is one dependent on the other for support, financial or otherwise? If so, is it prudent for officers of one group to then become officers of the other group? Is there anything in the bylaws that addresses this problem? Is this a problem? What is the purpose of the WDA, and how does it relate to or benefit the GSDCA and the membership? These are serious questions. I know that some groups and organizations frown on having officers serving another group with similar interest because of the possible perception of impropriety.
