TO ALL AERC MEMBERS:
The AERC Board of Directors is discussing the involvement of prize
money and high-value awards in our sport. I have requested that the topic
be put on the agenda at the Convention Board Meeting, and I am seeking
input from our membership. Please indicate your preference(s) among the
following choices by indicating the corresponding letter (s), and any
comments. Let me or your Director know, in writing/Email, of any other
comments you might have. Because I believe that all merchandise awards
have some corresponding cash value, I have chosen, at this time, to not
differentiate between the two.

A = I OBJECT to cash prizes and/or high-dollar (over $1,000) prizes for
ride awards.

B = I DO NOT OBJECT to cash prizes and/or high-dollar prizes for ride awards.

C = I would like to see a LIMIT on the amount of cash prizes/high-dollar awards.

D = I prefer NO MAXIMUM LIMIT on cash prizes/high-dollar awards.

E = I prefer that AERC create SEPARATE RIDER DIVISIONS:
"AMATEUR" (low cash prizes/awards limits) & "PROFESSIONAL" (no
maximum
limit).

Please respond by February 10th with the following information:
Member Name:
AERC Member Number:
Preference(s) "A, B, C, D, and/or E":
Comments:

Please list a separate response for each member in your household, and pass
on to any member friends that are not on the net. I will be compiling the
results to present to the Board of Directors in Reno, and will forward the
information to RideCamp.

Thank you!
