EB Motion # 18-19

EB Motion # 18-19 To restructure the additional filing fees for non-USCA members.  This motion will supersede motion EB Motion #05-18.

Motion:  by Michele Clubb, Secretary, seconded by Carissa Kuehn, NW Regional Director, to restructure the additional filing fees for non-USCA members.  This motion will supersede motion EB Motion #05-18.

Effective April 15, 2019, all non-USCA members will be charged a $50 filing fee (replaces previous $100 fee) for entry into any USCA club trial.  Members of GSSCC (Canada) will be exempt from this additional fee due to a reciprocity agreement between the two organizations.  This fee will be the responsibility of the non-members entered in the local trial.

Should the non-member join USCA within 30 days of completing the trial, the $50 fee will be credited toward their first-year membership dues.

 

Background:

USCA is committed to growing dog sport in America.  We strive to provide greater opportunities to train, trial, and title dogs.  We aim for greater involvement and more chances to achieve one’s goals, regardless of breed or affiliation.

In a single year, nearly 200 of our clubs host close to 300 FCI recognized events with FCI recognized judges.  Our trials are open to all handler/dog teams with an FCI recognized scorebook wishing to obtain an FCI recognized title.  All who participate derive a direct benefit from significant resources expended by USCA.

Effective April 15, 2019, the additional fee will be $50 per entry for a non-USCA member.  This fee will continue to be the responsibility of the non-member entered in the trial and not the host club.  The fee is not the responsibility of the hosting club.  All proceeds from non-member fees are applied equally to judges, helper, and tracklayer programs.

Should the non-member join USCA within 30 days of completing the trial, the $50 fee will be credited toward their first-year membership dues.
