We Need to Build a Leadership Team!
.Hello supporters, we need your help. The success of an Oregon Youth Mountain Biking League depends on leadership, and I can't do it all on my own. Leadership opportunities exist at several levels of commitment, which are listed below.
Contact us if you are interested in any of these roles, or if you know of others who may be.
Founding League Development Committee: (5-10 hours per week) One of the core leaders in the organization with duties and responsibilities that will require 5-10 hours a week of commitment, supporting the league director working with NICA staff, the League Leadership Committee, sub committees, community members, event organizers, school administrators, parents, student athletes, etc. The League Development Committee will be in place for two years, and will meet at least monthly. This group will work to build statewide support for a league, develop the elements for a first NICA racing season in Fall 2018, and help develop other leaders and committees.
Below are the current League Development Committee members, will you join us?
Sub-Committees: (2-5 hours per week) Involved with one of the sub-committee areas such as fundraising, team development, program implementation, working with the leadership committee to execute projects.
Fundraising Committee - Assist with all aspect of fundraising, including donor campaigns, corporate sponsorship and special fundraising events. It takes money to play, so this committee will help to raise funds through events, grants, corporate and individual donations, and other sources. Members will not be asked to be major contributors, but rather will help to identify and win funds. This committee may sunset once the league is self-supporting through race and team fees, events and other ongoing sources.
Venue Committee - Assist with identifying, inspecting and choosing the race venues, leaders’ summit venues, skills clinic venues, and special event venues. We have one race course identified at the Washougal MX park, but we will need at least four more venues, plus two backup venues, preferably in different areas of the state, from Bend westward, and from the greater Portland area southward.
Program Development Committee - Assist with the implementation of all programs including conferences, camps and races. This committee will help to develop the first official NICA race season for Fall 2018, plan and develop fundraising and promotional events in Spring/Summer 2017, and non-NICA riding/racing development events in Fall 2017 in the Portland, Eugene/Oakridge and/or Bend regions.
Team Development Committee - Assist with the correspondence with those working to build teams. New coaches have many questions and pro-active support makes a big difference. This committee will work to build a list of teams from around the state, focusing on schools and communities along the I-5 corridor, coastal cities, and Hood River and Bend.
Core League Supporter: (varies, 1-3 hours per week) Involved with more direct projects and activities without longer term commitments or schedules. These individuals typically are interested in getting the new league up and running but have a limited amount of time to dedicate to the effort.
