Why a GPC yearly membership program?

A GPC membership program is an investment in the stability and growth of the entire giant growing community. A membership program will help the organization maintain financial independence from external sponsors, ensuring that the GPC can continue to provide essential services like real-time leaderboard stats, standardized judging, and the coordination of international weigh-off sites.

Membership will directly fund the expansion of recognition programs—such as jackets, patches, and championship trophy buckles—that celebrate grower achievements. A Membership program will ensure the continuation of the International Growers Convention and educational resources such as the quarterly newsletter.
