Seeking MRF Assistant Reps

The Heartland S.T.E.A.M. conference may seem like a long time ago and we’ve done many events since then. But…thanks to a slightly delayed donation, we have now beat the record for the most money a state has ever donated to the MRF from a S.T.E.A.M. conference!! ABATE of WI—we kicked butt!! That’s right, we raised over $20,500 for the MRF this spring! Sorry Jiggs, but South Dakota is now back in 2nd place. I couldn’t be prouder of my ABATE family and the countless people that worked their tails off to make that event successful. It was more than successful! Thank you so much!

I’d like to personally welcome Bronson Smith onto the team of MRF Assistant State Reps. Bronson is currently on the Board of Directors and hails from the Green Bay area. He joins Cathy Dial of Racine, who has worked persistently to increase membership and educate bikers about the Motorcycle Riders Foundation.

Now, to build on the success…ABATE of WI still is actively recruiting Assistant State Reps to the MRF in the North, Central, and Western parts of the state. The main objectives of an assistant state rep are to grow the membership of the MRF and spread the word about what the MRF does. This can be achieved by setting up and working membership booths at various events, both locally and state-wide, by talking about the MRF at your regional meetings, and by sharing MRF information on social media. You don’t need to be a salesperson; you just need to be genuine. Simply sharing your love for the organization and having some basic knowledge of how the MRF supports the motorcycling community are needed. There are lots of tools and handouts available to help with this. I am happy to give anyone guidance on how to successfully work a membership table and be a successful Assistant State Rep.

If you aren’t already a member of the MRF, you should be! Preserving our freedoms is not just done at a state level, but at a national level as well. There’s an MRF membership application in this newsletter. Sign up to become a member today! If you are a member and are interested in taking it to the next level, contact me about becoming an Assistant State Rep. My email address is listed above by my name, or you can call or text me at 920-207-4679.

As always, stay vigilant, my friends!
