For the survival of our national and regional clubs, we MUST consistently attract and keep new members. I have seen for myself that clubs that turn into cliques soon fizzle out. So, a question for you. As Chairman of the Public Relations/Public Education committee of the GSDCA, I'm always looking for ideas that I can share with other regional clubs and the national club. How does your club attract and keep members? Do you recruit members for the GSDCA amongst your regional club membership. And, what are the benefits of a. joining a regional club, and b. joining the parent club? You can reply privately if you'd like, but I think this will make an interesting discussion.
