The greatest benefit of ADSJ Membership comes automatically with membership in the largest judges organization in the world --- effective representation! Your views and concerns, together with those of so many others, combine through the vehicle of the ADSJ to create a voice which must be heard. We, the officers and directors of the ADSJ, gather, amplify and articulate this voice. It is heard by the governing body of our sport in a variety of ways, namely, informal conversations, letters to the AKC board and management, position papers and articles in The Voice, and most notably, through our AKC/ADSJ liaison meetings with key AKC Board and management personnel. Through these avenues we endeavor to build a relationship with the AKC based on reason, open communication and mutual respect. 

While we continue to look for better ways to gather and express your views, we are also constantly seeking other Member benefits which may address your needs and interests. Please remember, your suggestions are always welcome.
