January 1, 2011, upon

which they are received,

The form below will soon

currently, it only takes
information!
Membership supports all aspects of the club's business, and
is a primary source of our income. 15% of each membership,
rounded to the nearest dollar, will go into the rescue fund.
The remainder will first pay for events, communications,
this website, and printed materials. Secondly, the funds of
the club will be used for our various projects, and your
membership provides for your vote to be counted, taking
the club in your preferred direction.
There are five types of membership.
  • Regular Membership is open to all persons eighteen years and older: who are and remain in good standing with
    the AGCA, who are interested in the breed, and who subscribe to the purposes of the Club. This type of
    membership has full dues of $20 per yr and offers all Club benefits and participation. Regular members may vote
    and hold office.
  • Household Membership is open to a family whose members reside at the same address, in which the adults would
    otherwise qualify for Regular Membership. This type of membership has full dues of $35 per yr. and offers all Club
    benefits and participation. Household Membership entitles the two primary adults to cast votes and hold office.
  • International Membership is open to all persons eighteen years and older: who reside outside of the U.S., who are
    interested in the breed, and who subscribe to the purposes of the Club. This type of membership pays $15 US per
    yr. Persons living outside of the US may not hold a board position. They will receive the newsletter and be able to
    participate on committees, and vote.
  • Junior Membership is open to all persons under eighteen years of age who are interested in the breed and subscribe
    to the purposes of the Club. Reduced fees and dues of $6 per yr. are provided for this type of membership, which
    offers all Club benefits and participation, except that Junior Members may not vote or hold office.
  • Lifetime Membership is awarded to individuals who have made significant contributions to the breed or club. They
    pay no dues. To qualify, a person must have been a member of the AGCA for 10 years, or have made significant
    relevant efforts on behalf of the breed. These are granted by the majority vote of the BOD.
All voting memberships must complete a 6-month probationary term and may not vote or hold office until they have
been a member more than 6 months.

Membership dues shall be paid on or before the 1st day of January of each year.
New members that join after the first quarter will have their membership fees pro-rated, on a quarterly basis.
No member may vote whose dues are not paid for the current year. During the month of November, the Treasurer shall
send to each member a statement of his dues for the ensuing year.

Each applicant for membership shall apply on a form, and which shall provide that the applicant agrees to abide by this
constitution, the bylaws, and the rules of The Armenian Gampr Club of America. The application shall state the name,
address, telephone number and email address of the applicant. Dues will accompany Application (either electronically or
by mail). Each application will then be sent to the Membership/ Welcoming committee presided over by Director #5 for a
vote regarding acceptance. At least once a month the committee will convene electronically, in person, or via phone to
vote on membership applications, a majority vote is required for membership approval. All new memberships will then
be sent a packet with club information from the welcoming committee.

Memberships may be terminated:
  • By resignation. Any member in good standing may resign from the Club upon written notice to the Secretary; but
    no member may resign when in debt to the Club. Obligations other than dues are considered a debt to the Club;
    and they become incurred on the first day of each fiscal year.
  • By lapsing. A membership will be considered as lapsed and automatically terminated if such member's dues remain
    unpaid 60 days after the first day of the fiscal year; however, the Board may grant an additional 30 days of grace to
    such delinquent members in meritorious cases. In no case may a person be entitled to vote at any Club meeting or
    by ballot whose dues are unpaid as of the date of that meeting/ballot is sent.
  • By expulsion. A membership may be terminated by expulsion as provided in Article VI of these bylaws. Dues are
    forfeit.
