I was elected as President of the Mid-Ohio Bikers this year. One of the first things I asked for from the outgoing President was a copy of the by-laws.
It turns out that the by-laws are out of date, having been written in the 1970's and as far as I know have never been updated since. The club has operated very informally for many years.
So I am now drinking out of a firehose. Learning about club insurance programs, incorporation as a non-profit, and liability as a director or officer. Some club members were advocating to disband the club since no one was stepping up to be the next president.
It is interesting, but it is a lot to digest. I would be interested in how other clubs are organized. There is not enough time in the day.
I am working as hard as I was when I was getting paid.
A group of us went riding last week when the weather was good. Today it is snowing.
