Membership Application
All 2023 CHJA Membership applications expired on November 30th with the exception of Lifetime. The 2024 Show Year started on December 1st.
The CHJA no longer prints and mails membership cards to its 900 members. The Show Secretaries now access proof of membership online. We know excessive paper use can have a substantial negative impact on the environment and we are doing our part to alleviate waste.
You must be an active CHJA member to compete in the 2024 CHJA Medal Finals. Trainers must be active members as well in order to submit entries and participate.
