We must not forget that the winning was done when it was required that the WDA and USA joined in the competition. For years the GSDCA donated funds to keep the WDA viable. Now they are able to support themselves, and if they continue to go in the direction they are, they will be on their own. I have heard that Lew is going to run for President of the WDA, but it is just a rumor as far as I know. I heard it second hand, and have not asked Lew about it.
