Membership is the key to the future of a strong BRC. Furthermore, the educational process and battles that we fight in land use and public access are the foundation of what we are about. I plan to continue and increase those efforts significantly in 2002. With my full time appointment to BRC, I will be focusing heavily on the Recreational Trails Program (RTP), nationwide, helping folks implement this trail improvement grant money. GOALS FOR CA4WDC: I believe we must grow in membership and find new ideas to implement in the organization. We also must focus on developing future leaders of the Assoc. I work to find new ways to encourage folks to step up to the leadership plate and be a part of the Association.
