$24 of each primary membership (Adult, Youth, Primary Family member) and $10 of each additional family membership goes directly to the USDF to pay for GMO membership.

The USDF Group Membership year is from December 1st to November 30th.  LVDA members are added to the USDF Group Membership roster regularly throughout the year.  Members who join/renew after February may see a lag time in receiving their USDF Membership card due to an increased volume of  renewal prior to show season.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: BEFORE signing up for a show, please verify that you are a current member to be able to take advantage of our LVDA Member discounted show fees and our Year-End Award program. Scores only count if you are member when they are earned!
