As 2023 draws to a close, our board members would like your feedback. How are we doing in fulfilling our mission, as stated in our bylaws?

• What are we doing right?

We want to hear from you. Please send your feedback to feedback@chattanoogabicycleclub.com.

And a plea for help

On that last point, I’d like to again call attention to a critical need to ensure the club’s continued operation into 2024. We are in desperate need of a Treasurer. Our current treasurer is retiring off the board at the end of this year. We need someone who can make sure our bills get paid, oversee filing of our government reports, and prepare the annual budget. We hire an accountant to do most of the heavy work, but the Treasurer position does require some basic financial skills and the ability to devote a few (sometimes a few more) hours each month to keep us on track and fiscally responsible. Per our bylaws, a candidate for this job shall have been a club member for not less than 24 months on the date of their election. As with all our board positions this is an unpaid volunteer job.

If you can help or know someone who might, please drop an email to Sharon Russell or Tom Hand .

(If you’d like to discuss the job in more detail with our current treasurer, please email Mike Sabin.)

Thanks for reading this far!

Sharon
