Our 4th! A time to renew old friendships and make new ones. July 18th in Sedalia, MO. The Chartered Club Leadership Summit is designed to offer clubs the support and encouragement to help them develop positive, creative and safety-oriented leadership and to promote the club as a vital and integral component of the BMW MOA.

To group ride...

   or not to group ride!                    

That is a good question.

Before you get all wound out of shape about reading a diatribe on group riding vs. riding solo, you might want to reflect just a bit on why you choose one or the other when it comes to being involved with a motorcycle club.

Do they "Ride to Eat" or do they "Eat to Ride"?

At the Board of Directors meeting on April 25, it was my privilege to accept the position of Chartered Club Coordinator. My reasons for accepting were that I sensed that the Board was committed to supporting the Chartered Clubs. Also, I  believe that strong, healthy, growing Chartered Clubs are critical to the continued success of the BMW MOA.

To promote growth and stay viable, organizations must embrace new ideas and stay open to change. What has worked in the past will not necessarily work forever. Many times we become comfortable with the way things are and are resistant new ideas.
