    Memberships

    The Federation is a new organization designed to support Chinook breeders and exhibitors. We don't intend to replace any existing Chinook organizations, but will enhance the ability of breeders to work together and assist exhibitors in developing new venues in which they can exhibit their Chinooks.

    Our primary means of communication is the Internet, so get ready to move the Chinook into the era of technology! However, for those without Internet access, for a $15 copying and postage fee, we will copy things off the site and send it out when there are updates. We feel that using the Internet allows us to get information to our membership the moment it happens. It will also allow members to communicate imediately with each others through our discussion board. In addition, we publish an online newsletter, Chinook Online! and update our exhibitor's calender, which includes all venues for the Chinook, such as flyball, obedience, sledding, agility, herding and conformation.

    There are two levels of membership to choose from:

    Breeder/Exhibitor Member

    If you are a U.K.C. Chinook owner, are over 18 years of age, and want to be involved in a great new organization where breeders and exhibitors will work together to develop new venues for Chinooks, this is the group for you. This level of membership offers you maximum participation in the organization process as we develop structures to support the continued development of the Chinook dog. We currently have some great deals on Charter Memberships. Don't miss this opportunity! This offer will not be repeated.

    Take this link to our Breeder/Exhibitor Membership dues structure.

    Chinook Supporter Member

    Chinook Supporter Members are members who want to participate in the Federation and support the Chinook breed at a reduced cost. In addition, there is no requirement to own a Chinook or be over 18 years of age. These members can interact fully in Federation activities and discussions, but do not vote on official Federation policies. Chinook Supporters donate a minimum of $5.00 yearly to the Federation. Higher donations are always welcome.

    For those not online, an addition $15.00 is required to cover printing and mailing costs.

    Take this link to see how you can apply for membership.

    Please refer to the Bylaws for a full explanation of the membership structure. All fees are subject to change.


    Breeder/Exhibitor Member Dues Structure

    Breeder/Exhibitor Member dues are broken into two parts:

    1. Initiation Fee - You will pay an initiation fee of $50.00 upon application to the organization. This is a one-time-only fee for as long as you maintain continuous membership.

    2. Yearly Dues - You will owe dues each year. The fee structure decreases for each of the first 4 years of your membership. This dues structure will remain in force for you as long as you maintain continuous membership:

  • $50.00 - Year 1 (plus initiation fee)
  • $40.00 - Year 2
  • $30.00 - Year 3
  • $20.00 - Year 4 and beyond

    All memberships are individual memberships.

    Minimum age for membership is 18 years of age.


    FOR THOSE WITHOUT INTERNET ACCESS

    There is an additional fee for those who do not have Internet access and would like us to mail paper copy updates. If you have Internet access on a weekly basis, you are NOT eligible for this service. The fee is $15.00 for the first year. Each year costs will be reveiwed and the mailing fees will be assessed. Please be aware that this is not a membership fee. Therefore, if you pay for 4 years in advance, you will be assessed an additional fee for printing and mailing costs at the beginning of each year as long as you do not have Internet access and choose to have us send you paper copies. The cost is based on our estimate of the actual cost to print material from the Web page and send it to you. Since this fee offsets the direct cost incurred by the Federation for printing and mailing of material published on the Internet, we cannot provide a discount on this service nor can we provide it to those people with Internet access.

    The Board reserves the right to change this Membership requirements and costs at any time.
