National does NOT...

GPA National does not operate with a wealth of financial resources, and therefore expects Full Chapters to incorporate ongoing fundraising efforts. It presumes that each Chapter accepts financial responsibility of its Greyhounds, but is prepared to assist when needed.

GPA National does not operate under a policing policy with its Chapters, and does not interfere with the daily operations of such. GPA National does not assume the debts of, or the liability for Chapter decisions regarding their Greyhounds, but will offer guidance and assistance whenever necessary to ensure that each Chapter is provided with the tools necessary to successfully accomplish our Mission.

GPA National does not condone any environment filled with negativity, pessimism, or disrespectful actions. It believes that volunteers donate their free time and efforts for the love of the Greyhound breed, and it believes that personal differences and opinions should be settled either personally or at the Chapter level.
