Why We Have Conventions

According to Jerri Goldberg, one of the seven IAGLCWDC's Founding Members, the original purpose of our organization was "to foster communication and networking".

This resulted in the establishment of an Annual Convention with the purpose of fulfilling our greater list of purposes as stated in our bylaws:

  1. To promote the culture of and provide education in country western dancing, activities and music to all persons without regard to age, sex, gender or gender identity, religion, national or cultural origin, sexual orientation, disability or HIV status.
  2. To provide opportunities to its individual members for education in country western dancing as well as to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas among the member clubs.
  3. To support and encourage the growth of its membership and improve communication among the member clubs.
  4. To be a non-governing body of individual clubs.
The by-product of all this is that we get to dance and have fun together.

So join in! Get involved! And above all, have fun doing it!
