About HDBBA

A clearer public face for a community network

HDBBA exists to connect members, families, and partners with responsible participation, conservation, and lawful third-party opportunities. The site now presents the organization with visible values, visible leadership, and visible boundaries around what HDBBA does and does not do.

Respect and sportsmanship Privacy by default Lawful advocacy

What We Stand For

Principles people can actually see

Safe participation

Visible standards, calm orientation, and repeatable habits that keep participation clear and responsible.

Education first

Member pathways built around clinics, orientation, refreshers, and partner-led learning pathways.

Lawful advocacy

Plain-language updates, practical member briefings, and fact-based communication with institutions.

Community respect

HDBBA puts sportsmanship, hospitality, and discipline ahead of noise and ego.

Governance

A community network with clear standards

  • Roman Soler: community organizer and governance contact for terms, privacy, approvals, and organizational notices.
  • Jeff Alpaugh: community operations and platform lead for digital systems, member communications, and site delivery.
  • Community position: HDBBA publishes guidance, member communications, and third-party opportunities without acting as a facility operator or instructor.

Community boundaries

Private does not mean unstructured

The member area is built for educational discussion, scheduling, training resources, and member showcases. It is not a public or private marketplace. Listings, pricing, brokering language, and public solicitation stay out.

Facebook remains a funnel and community touchpoint, not the source of truth for membership, licensing, or event authority.
