USDF Connection

Has the Connection gone electronic only? I am a member, have not received it in months.

I haven’t rec’d a copy this year, I think it’s gone digital.

I have the participating membership. Hmmm…

[Feathered_Feet]

I’ve received mine!

It has not gone completely digital, got one recently. It’s been reduced to 6 issues a year, though.

Incidentally, a paid education membership does not get you a print copy of the magazine. I asked, as I don’t know if my GMO membership will be useful to me - as a paid USEquestrian fan membership gets you the magazine, I though it was telling that USDF doesn’t follow suit.

The GMO membership DOES give you the printed copy. The Education membership does not.

Just got mine last week, but yes, it’s now a bi-monthly in print form.

Hi - the magazine, which is published bimonthly, is available in both print and digital editions, although USDF members may elect not to receive the hard copy if they so desire.

If you joined a USDF group-member organization (GMO) recently and have not yet received the magazine, contact your GMO and ask when it last updated its membership roster with the USDF office. You can also check your membership status with the USDF office directly.

USDF education membership includes access to the digital edition but not the print version. On this page you’ll find a summary of membership categories and benefits:

Finally, in my own neck of the woods I have noticed sporadic but persistent mail delays and delivery interruptions, including days when the carrier doesn’t come at all. The issue has worsened significantly during the coronavirus pandemic. My own member copies of USDF Connection have been arriving later than usual, and this is a postal issue, not USDF per se.

Hope this is helpful.
