Hi Randy, your comments on involvement are well spoken. However, one
thing I've wondered about for awhile and it might be it's been covered
in past ENs (in which case, please pass on an issue date, please). What
is a regional director expected to do? What are the out-of-pocket
expenses for being a director (travel, etc)? Do you need any particular
qualifications, ie a minimum number of AERC miles to be considered
eligible? What about sitting on the BOD? I see alot of names listed
for different committees---are they the entire committee or do other
non-listed people also participate in some way? I know ride managers
always need more help from volunteers, thus making it a Ride Manager
Apprenticeship Program, but do director positions work the same way---or
do you just have to be masochistic enough to throw your hat into the
ring?
I agree that sometime people would rather gripe than get involved, but
sometime also, people don't get more involved because they're not quite
sure how.
Any comments from lurking directors would be appreciated.
