Stage Two – New Member

Review new member information, are they a Spotter or a Dog Team? If they want to be a Dog Team, if they don’t have a CGC already, they need to obtain this, and we give some guidance about this.

If they have a CGC or they wish to be a Spotter, send to Orientation, provide them with a shirt and badge, and a bag and bandana if they have a dog.

After they have attended Orientation, notify the appropriate Regional Coordinator.

Log date of Orientation and which RC was notified.

Add new member to website table, create a user account, send email with login information to new member.

Other Functions – Attract new members

Contact trainers, groomers, vets, doggy daycares, etc. to try to locate trained dogs to bring into the group.

Come up with other ideas that might help grow our membership.
