Even greater access to the APHA database can be granted through My APHA Plus, which features color photos in pedigrees along with in-depth performance andprogeny information, as well as ownership information.
Show Management Services—In an effort to assist show managers with verification of the required memberships and program enrollments, you can now search for the most current APHA members and exhibitors on the Show Management Services Web site aphaonline.org/showsvc/smshome.aspx. The search feature allows you to look up a member or exhibitor by their APHA ID number or their name. You can even narrow your search by including the state, country or U.S. postal code. Included in your results will be basic membership information, along with detailed exhibitor information (exhibitor type, card expiration, eligible age group and the novice categories in which they are eligible). This can be a great tool for you to verify membership when processing entries for your show, on-site at your show, or while compiling your show results. There is also a download page from thesite with all of the forms that you might need for a show.
