BOARD OF DIRECTORS JOB DESCRIPTION

BMSTC’s Board of Directors is a vibrant group of people committed to developing, protecting, and enhancing mountain biking in NE Oregon. BMSTC’s Board is responsible for organization-level direction setting and decision making. Board members do most of the managerial and administrative work required to advance BMSTC’s mission. Board members attend approximately one 2-hour Board meeting per month on the last Tuesday of the month. In addition, Board members may manage committees, plan events, represent BMSTC at community functions, participate in fundraising efforts, etc. Board members should expect to spend a minimum of 10 hours per month on BMSTC business. Most Board members spend much more time than this due to their passion for our work.

The Board is elected by BMSTC’s membership biennially at the annual meeting to serve a 2-year term. Board members must be current dues-paying BMSTC members for the duration of their term and should reside in NE Oregon. Prior Board and trail work experience are helpful but not necessary to serve on the Board. Other skills that are useful but not required include: event management, finance, general administration, volunteer management, fundraising, information technology, and marketing.

BMSTC’s Board is currently comprised of 5 members but will be expanding to 7 members in the 2020 election. BMSTC’s four Officers—Chair, Vice- Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer—are selected from within the Board. Committees are created as needed and may include Trails, Communications, Advocacy, Finance, Membership, Fundraising, Training, Strategic Planning, Events, and Elections. Board members or active volunteers may also fill Coordinator roles as needed such as: Trails Coordinator, Volunteer Coordinator, Membership Coordinator, and Sponsorship Coordinator.
