General Member Standard of Conduct
As a member of the Wisconsin Dressage and Combined Training Association (WDCTA) I agree to abide by the WDCTA Standard of Conduct: to act honestly, fairly, ethically and with integrity and treat all WDCTA members with respect and courtesy.
Important Notices
WDCTA memberships are from December 1st through November 30th.
Privacy: In May 2010, we heard from members who received an unsolicited email from a non-WDCTA member about a non-WDCTA event. Please be assured, WDCTA does NOT give out or sell our membership's email addresses. This is in accordance with our long-time policy to protect members' privacy. Please continue to alert us to these situations so we can contact the business, individual or organization.
WDCTA policy is as follows: WDCTA will consider requests for the purchase of a set of mailing labels for a one-time mailing at a cost of $20 for members, $40 for non-members. Anyone wishing to purchase a set of labels should contact the WDCTA president or WDCTA membership chair. These labels contain ONLY members' street or post office address and NOT an email address. It does not contain the names and addresses of members who have opted out of mailings outside of official WDCTA business.
