GDUI Affiliates

Guide dog Users, Inc. prides itself on its ability to network and solve problems at the local as well as national level. Working hard at the state and regional level are the GDUI Affiliates. This page is dedicated to them and all of the people who work tirelessly on their behalf. If you would like more information about any of the affiliates listed, please contact them directly. If you are interested in starting a GDUI affiliate in your area, our Affiliate Liaison, Debbie Grubb, can help.

Each year at our national convention we hold an Affiliate Meeting where representatives can exchange ideas, and discuss new projects. This meeting is open to anyone interested in our affiliates. We hope you will check us out at the next GDUI national convention.
