Committee History

The State Greeters are coordinated under the auspices of the Member Relations & Communications Committee. The APDT is continually growing, and as a new member, it can be overwhelming to become a part of the largest dog trainer’s association in the world.  There are so many benefits to membership, available resources and learning opportunities that a new member could feel lost. This where the Greeter Program comes in!  Each state and several countries have a Greeter who personally emails every new member in their area to welcome them to the organization.  Greeters not only extend a personal welcome, but also helpful tips for finding the many benefits of membership and an offer of personal help in navigating the association.  Many Greeters even offer to meet with new members to network and put a human face on the organization.

Our Greeters are volunteers, and their work is both helpful to new members and satisfying to the Greeters. Below is a list of all of our state greeters. If you are interested in becoming a greeter and see that your state has no one listed, please contact our State Greeter Coordinator, Barbara Johnson at mailto:bjk9s@hotmail.com.
