Eligibility 3.1.1. Membership applicants must be in good standing with ASCA and shall subscribe and adhere to the principles and objectives of GASC. Persons who are currently suspended or expelled from ASCA may not join this Club until they are reinstated in ASCA. Membership shall be unrestricted as to race, color, creed, or sex, and ownership of an Australian Shepherd shall not be a requirement of membership. Membership with ASCA is not a requirement of GASC. 3.1.2. To become a membership candidate of GASC, one shall submit a GASC membership application along with the proper membership fees to the Membership Secretary. The application shall provide that the applicant agrees to abide by the Constitution, Bylaws, Rules, Regulations, Code of Ethics, and Dispute Rules of both ASCA and GASC. The candidate period will be 12 months from the date on the application. Within this 12-month time-frame, the candidate must attend two (2) general membership meetings and provide four (4) hours of Club service. If the candidate is not able to make GASC general membership meetings, the candidate shall submit to GASC's Board their reason for not being able to attend meetings (i.e., location or work hours). If the Board approves the candidate's request for exemption from meetings, the candidate will be required to provide eight (8) hours of club service in lieu of attending meetings. After a candidate meets the above-referenced requirements and submits dates for verification to the Membership Secretary, the candidate will be voted on for full membership at the following general membership meeting. Full membership shall be granted after receiving an affirmative majority vote of the eligible voting members in attendance. Once a candidate becomes a full member, there are no further membership requirements to fulfill. 3.1.3 Any person who renews membership is deemed to have consented to all current terms of the Constitution, Bylaws, Rules, Policies, Procedures, Dispute Rules of both ASCA and GASC.
