The objectives of the ABGA Affiliate program include: • To provide resources at the local clubs level • To provide networking opportunities for the local clubs • To attract and retain goat producers • To assist with educational opportunities • To cultivate grassroots input from local clubs
Local clubs benefit from joining the group of recognized affiliates by receiving: • Listing on the Affiliate page of The Boer Goat including a short description • Listing on the Affiliate section of ABGA website with description of club’s mission • Listing of club events (shows and educational events) on the ABGA Event Calendar • Monthly listing of new ABGA members in the
Affiliate’s area • Eligibility to receive ABGA promotional and educational material for club events • Eligibility for educational funds • Eligibility for cost share programs • Membership matching funds at the end of each year • Opportunities for future programs
Affiliates have the opportunity to apply for funds to conduct educational seminars in their area. They can apply for cost share programs such as a display booth for the club. At the end of each year, membership rosters of the local affiliate will be matched with the membership roster of the association. The affiliate will receive a membership match of $1.00 per match for each person who is a member of both the affiliate and the ABGA. The affiliates are notified of future programs as they become available.
