Opportunities

by Bill Roberge

I would like all Regional Reps and Membership Officers to take this opportunity to consider getting expired membership lists from Marie and reaching out to expired members within your region over the next few weeks. It’s important that we try to reach these people and ask them back, or at the very least, find out why they decided not to continue their membership.

With winter events beginning soon, it’s a great opportunity for you to think about getting yours – meaning my goal to have every member bring in one new member to join us. I think indoor events like chili cook offs, etc. offer a good chance to talk to prospective members and gives you the opportunity to invite people to our events and introduce them to ABATE.

If you haven’t heard, the bylaw change proposal passed at the annual meeting. Part of my job as Membership Director is to oversee the ABATE of Wisconsin election process. I am very lucky to have an opportunity to work with experienced and dedicated election committee members. My thanks go to Mary Sweetala, Dan Batker, and Pete Kutchenreiter, who are the members that sit on our election committee. They are very thorough and follow all the rules.

Finally, take this opportunity to have a happy Thanksgiving with family, friends and enjoy some relaxation.

Ride Safe, Ride Free, Ride with ABATE.
