WHO WE ARE
Our Committees
ACT Companion Dog Club is run by volunteers and is overseen by a Main Committee. Each member of the Committee takes responsibility for a particular aspect of Club management. Sub-committees deal with the various disciplines of dog training and there are several special interest or support groups. Many other people assist in running the Club and the committees and groups appreciate all offers of help.
So don’t be shy: if you would like to help, speak to a Committee or Sub-committee member. We’d love to hear from you.
