Greeting NM Bike Racers,
Over
the past 6 weeks your NMBRA board
members have worked with USAC, Wells Fargo and the IRS, and have brought NMBRA
back to compliance just in time to start our racing season. As we are gearing
up for the 2017 racing season, the NMBRA is looking for people who want to be
active in helping to grow bike racing in New Mexico.
The official website for NMBRA is www.nmbra.org . It will serve as one platform for information
for NM bike racing on all disciplines
which will include Road, Mountain Bike, Track, CX as well as BMX and Endurance
racing. The website is functional as of
right now, but it is under construction as we try to populate it with information
that we are gathering.
Currently, the board of directors
consists of:
Silvio Menezes, President (interim), Upgrade
Coordinator
Dennis Chavez, Vice President
Sarah Fair, Secretary; Acting Treasurer
Robbie Douangpanya, Board Member at Large
The
Board is seeking nominations for the following positions:
Treasurer and Board Member at Large (2)
The term of each position is two years and the
new NMBRA board members must be committed to seeing NM bike racing grow. The
board meets once a month for approximately 2 hours, however there may other
time commitments such assisting with social media, upgrades etc. If this sounds like something you want to
participate an election meeting is going to be held on Saturday, February
25, 2017 at 3 pm at Sports
Systems. The address of Sports Systems is as follow: 6915 Montgomery Blvd
NE, Albuquerque, NM 87109. All clubs are
encouraged to attend.
NMBRA really wants members who are
enthusiastic about bike racing and that want to work with US Cycling to encourage
more people to get out on their bikes and have fun! Feel free to contact
a board member with questions or a better understanding of the job
descriptions.
