RCDR Board of Directors for the 2013 year
Since we have new members who may not be familiar with names and faces, let me help you with the descriptions of the positions. I will post photos and more details once the nominations have been firmed up.
Anybody who is interested in being nominated, please post your name in this thread and the position in which you are interested- or the unsuspecting victim you are recommending for the position. And of course little details such as your driver license photo, birth certificate, last 10 years of tax returns, blood type yada yada.
PRESIDENT
Presides over board meetings and general meetings (what does "preside" mean??? Maybe it means “smokes a lot”). Approves all event flyers.(Including the “WANTED” posters) . Has authority to sign any contracts or other legal documents approved by the Board. Coordinates the activities of the Board and the Club. (Is that all???)
Incumbent: Mundy Murzic has very ably served the club for several years, but is unable to do it any longer for personal reasons. We owe him a huge debt of gratitude for his guidance and commitment. His selflessness is only matched by his grumpiness. Both are legendary. Count on him to help the new President as needed.
Candidates: open for nominations. We need to find another victim!!! Quick !!!
A little bird told me Jim Harker is being volunteered for this job (but does not know it yet). He is a good friend and I would not wish this sentence upon anybody, but heck, somebody has to bite the bullet and be the President. And Jim is good at biting bullets… as I personally saw when he broke his shoulder SPLAT smack in front of me, without a scream or even a muffled sob… OUCh!
Any other candidates, welcome and please step forward. I will be glad to take your temperature and measure your sanity or lack thereof.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VICE-PRESIDENT
Presides over meetings in the absence of the President (but no smoking is required) or at his request; acts as the club events co-ordinator; schedules all club events; appoints chairman for club events; acts as club parlamanentarian. (Now I get it : a SOCIAL director!! I always wondered…)
Incumbent: Tim Miller, another column of the club. Proud proprietor of “Tim’s Little Mechanic Shop in the Woods” (*).
Tim is the organizer of the annual Black Bear Dual Sport ride and would like to focus on maintaining the Lease. Therefore he self-nominated for Lease Director and not for Vice President.
(* see forum thread on how to change a tire in the forest).
Candidates: open for nominations. So far I have heard rumors of Mike Snyder possibly being interested.
Please do not talk him out of it . He will make an excellent VP, and it is about time he should take over the non-fun responsibilities of the club instead of just riding anywhere-anytime. Right Mike? ;D
I also suspect that this may turn out to be a two-fer, since his lovely bride Jewel is always chipping in and helping whenever needed. Hi Jewel! Thank you Jewel!
Other candidates are welcome, of course.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECRETARY
Takes minutes of board and general meetings (and can decipher his/her own handwriting afterwards). Distributes the minutes to members via email or the website. Handles all club correspondence and club records (oh oh, this is beginning to look like real work) . Has authority to sign any contracts or other legal documents (yeah baby!)
Incumbent: Amy Mosley who in years past has graced the club as Vice President as well as Secretary but is unable to so next year due to personal commitments. Thank you Amy for everything. We will miss your style and your organization skills.
Good parties too!!!
Candidates: I have been asked if I am available for this job. I suspect this is due to the fact that I can write, whereas I cannot ride worth beans. Anyway, if nobody else volunteers I will do it, but I would rather goof off and ride- slowly, of course. Please somebody step forward and save me!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TREASURER
Collects and disburses club funds at the board’s request. Prepares a financial report for the members each year. (=must be good at creative writing).
Incumbent: our inimitable Clint Lancaster,who is good at counting pennies, writing checks and saying pretty funny stuff (especially after a beer or two). He is also awesome at impersonating a KTM rider.
Braaap!
Candidates: Clint would like to take care of our money again, before leaving for that long-planned trip to Vegas (just kidding). Other candidates are welcome (possibly not related to generals in Nigeria etc.etc.etc.).
____________________________________________________
MEMBERSHIP CHAIRMAN
Collects club dues (aka “the enforcer”). Keeps the club membership roster current and provides a copy to the members each year; issues membership cards (and the code for the locks at the lease) keeps records of club workdays for each member.
Incumbent: Tom Horton . That same pesky little bird told me Tom (aka Mr. Honda) may soon succumb to the dreaded “OD”(*) .
(* OD= Orange Disease)
It is a baaaaad bug. I know because I caught it myself this year.
Anyway, Tom specializes in thoroughly vetting new potential members (the complete checkup, inside and out) and also in keeping track of your days worked- or lack thereof. Can be bribed about the work day thing, but it will cost ya!
Candidates: Tom does it well and would not mind to stay on another year. Anybody else would like to volunteer for this really boring job?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PUBLIC RELATIONS- SANCTIONED EVENT COORDINATOR

Acts as liaison with the land owners, the National Forest Service and other governmental agencies regarding the use and/or lease of their lands. Keeps the board and members informed of any legislation or meetings which could affect the interest of the club. (Keep going, keep going, it is not over yet).

Incumbent: Brad Stanton- a very good rider- I do not know how he finds the time to do all of the above, plus be the dad of two lovely daredevils on wheels.
Candidates: Brad is a glutton for punishment and would not mind doing it again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEASE DIRECTOR
Presides over the lease committee (more likely, cajoles them into showing up for work). Responsible for organizing the lease grounds including trail layout and camping areas; proposes budget for improvements to the lease (and then spends it all in wine, women and orange bikes). Keeps records of members’ workdays at the lease (see “bribe” above) and provides it to the membership chairman.
Incumbent: Keith Leach cannot do it next year due to work assignments out of the area. Thank you Keith and Laura for your leadership this year. The work days were well organized and lots of fun. Great food too!
Candidates: Tim Miller, who has generously volunteered to donate his body to the quadragillions mosquitoes currently having a party at the Lease. See above.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Non-Board positions
These jobs do not carry the formal responsibility of the Board, but are hugely important and are FUN! (Especially now that Mundy will not be around telling you how to do things HIS way).
Please do not be bashful and do step forward.
Webmaster- the wizard who maintains our web site. Currently Rick Renstrom, who has graciously agreed to keep on going. Thank you Rick! Keep doing your magic please!
Lease committee members (2 positions). Work with the lease director to maintain the property, organize improvements, signage, safety etc. What about you frequent lease riders such as Mike Hathway, Mike Hunter and Scott Sumney?? We need these studly types to keep the Lease going…
Property master :the club owns a large trailer filled to the brim with tables, chairs, tents, tools and everything necessary to put together a big event. It is a kept at a member’s property on the north side of town, but it can be moved if needed. The property master keeps an inventory of the stuff, reorganizes the trailer after big events (when it looks like a tornado had gone through it) and keeps the equipment running (chainsaws, radios etc). Good position for neat and orderly types.
What about you, Paul Kirkland? You are neat, orderly and have a truck big enough to pull the monster trailer. Ok, done deal. Thank you Paul.
Referee this one has got me baffled. I did not know we had quarrels which needed a referee but I would say… this is one of the positions where you write your own job description??). I would think that somebody as impressive as Rocky will have no problem resolving disputes- without resorting to weapons. One stern look from Rocky and… you will quiver!
Club Store Manager orders club paraphernalia such as tee-shirts, decals etc; keeps inventories; peddles the stuff every chance he /she gets. Ideal for the types who are into “shtuff” and liked to play “little storekeeper” as kids. Ideas anybody?
ELECTIONS ARE NEXT MONTH AT THE MEETING.
Be there or you may find yourself voted in- while absent- for a position you knew nothing about.
