A word from the Regional Director ...

April 2012 Newsletter

Our First Newsletter as Region J Directors

Hi Region J Team and members,

Well April 1st has brought some change to Region J and I’m quite sure more change will be following as we head into riding season. I would like to introduce the team and explain some of the changes that occurred as of April 1st (no joke … ).

First off and most importantly, I would like to thank Phil & Margaret for looking after Region J and all of us so well. For those that didn’t know, they weren’t just the "Region J Directors", they were "Senior Region J Directors". That is a very special recognition by GWRRA not for length of service, but for effort above and beyond the requirements of the position. I know Phil & Margaret have been very supportive of Leslie and I and I’m sure many, if not all of you feel exactly the same way. So please join me in saying a huge thank you to Phil & Margaret.

Now the really good news is they are going to continue to support the Region J Team, by continuing to help with Leadership Training and of course they will continue to instruct the Rider Education programs as they have for years. Leslie and I have been appointed as the Region J Directors, and Arnie & Janet Tucker have agreed to become the Assistant Region J Directors with Con & Pat Williams replacing us as the BC District Directors.

Below is the Region J Team as it stands today:

Region J has some unique challenges, many of which come from the size of our Region and our relatively small population. Many of us live thousands of kilometers/miles apart, which make meetings very difficult and communication in general a challenge. Well that is one of things that we have to be creative about and find the best solution we can. To that end I would like to contact all the Officers in the Region to build a contact list and begin a dialog about how best to deal with the challenges we face in our Region, Districts and Chapters.

Leslie and I look forward to talking with you, or better yet meeting.

Ride Safe,
John & Leslie
