PETITION
TO THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS
AMERICAN ENDURANCE RIDE CONFERENCE
The undersigned members of the
American Endurance Ride Conference here-by petition the Board of Directors to
undertake very serious consideration of the state of trails in the United States
and Canada. Every day trails and access to trails is being denied and/or lost.
The causes for this are varied and range from unsubstantiated misguided
pseudo-science, unauthorized closing of trails by Agencies and by the enactment
of local, state and federal mandates.
The undersigned members of the
American Endurance Ride Conference here-by petition the Board of Directors to
direct the Executive Director of the AERC to place emphasis of trail matters
within the Endurance News, to seek out National and Regional trail problem areas
and to highlight and explore them to the benefit of the general
membership.
The undersigned members of the American Endurance Ride
Conference here-by petition the Board of Directors to make the Trails Committee
of foremost importance and to work directly with this Committee to expand the
position of the AERC with in the National Trails Community.
The
undersigned members of the American Endurance Ride Conference here-by petition
the Board of Directors to provide funds, by what ever means necessary, to
establish a presence on the National and Regional Trails scene.
Since
trails are essential to the conduct of endurance rides, and trails are being
lost at an alarming rate each year, the undersigned do not believe these
requests of the Board of Directors are unreasonable, unnecessary or in any way
in conflict with the AERC Articles of Incorporation, By-laws or Rules and
Regulations.
Please be advised that this petition was done by electronic
means and was not available to all AERC members. A full petition of all members
could show a
difference.
