I had hoped to give more notice about the date for the annual meeting, but life and job slowed me down. The NMBRA annual meeting will be held on February 18th at 6pm in the community room at Sport Systems on Montgomery. Each USAC club in good standing has 1 vote so please encourage your team to send someone on your behalf.

I met with a few folks who are willing to step forward to throw their names in the hat for board positions. I encourage anyone with the passion, and THE TIME to commit to this community to throw their names in as well.

At this time the following board positions are up for election:

President - This is typically a 2 year term, however this time around it was vacated after 1 year so technically 1 year this time around. The President has additional duties that include a monthly conference call with USAC and to attend the annual Local Association Meeting in Colorado Springs.

Secretary - This is also a 2 year term that I believe was vacated after 1 year. I'll be honest, I lost track on this one but will know for sure at the meeting. This position has the duty of typing up and posting meeting minutes.

2 at-large positions. My position was filling a vacated position and was for 1 year. Another 2 year position has been vacated and will be a 1 year assignment.

Total time required to be on the board:

Approximately 2 hours per month for a monthly meeting, and another hour per month to address any issues brought up via email.

Other voluntary duties, you don't have to take one on, but someone has to do them:

1 hour monthly Local Association Small Working Group phone call.

License Upgrade Coordinator - If I am not re-elected will need to be assigned to someone, varies, generally 2 to 3 hours per month to process upgrade requests.

Currently Al handles permit approval, and as he is not up for re-election, this should be covered for at least the next year.

Treasurer- again, this is handled for the next year. Randy Corcoran currently does this.

I also plan to propose an advisory committee be formed to represent the interests of all groups within NMBRA. This should involve less time than Board positions, if it is approved. 

Please distribute this notification within your clubs to encourage members to voice their views and concerns and to vote!!

Please direct any questions you would like answered before the meeting to me at tygerchick@gmail.com

Best,

Brandi Hibner

NMBRA Board Member at Large
