The DSDCTA is a “Group Member Organization” (GMO) of the United States Dressage Federation. As such, we are represented, in a voting capacity, at Regional and Annual Business Meetings of the USDF by DSDCTA delegates/representatives from our membership or by proxy, as decided by the current DSDCTA Board of Directors.

​

As a “GMO”, a portion of DSDCTA membership dues is paid to the USDF. In addition to a voice in the national decision making process, each current GMO Member of DSDCTA receives a Group USDF Membership. This entitles DSDCTA members to receive the USDF Connection and other local publications such as the DSDCTA Newsletter Tempo.

​

Participating Members of USDF pay a separate application fee. Participating members are eligible for USDF Year End and Special Awards, in addition to a direct vote in business decided by the General Membership of USDF.
