Update From The President - May 6, 2026
I hope all of you are enjoying the great weather we’ve been having lately and are gearing up for summer!
I wanted to send out a reminder and update regarding a few important upcoming items.
First and foremost, our May/June Board of Directors meeting schedule has been adjusted slightly. As discussed and approved at Convention, we are transitioning away from the traditional Saturday/Sunday meeting format for this meeting and moving to a Friday/Saturday schedule.
The Board Meeting will begin Friday morning, May 29th, at 8:00 AM in Sacramento.
Friday morning will begin directly in Executive Session, where we will be addressing consulting contracts, employee evaluations, litigation status updates, and other related matters. We expect those discussions to continue into late morning.
Following Executive Session, we will move into several operational items including:
-
Treasurer’s Report
-
Budget discussions
-
SOP approvals
-
Action item reviews
-
Additional administrative items
Our goal is to work through as much of the operational and administrative business as possible on Friday.
We will reconvene again Saturday morning, May 30th, at 8:00 AM, where we will move into:
-
Board and committee reports
-
Corporate sponsorship program discussions and proposed changes
-
Land use and advocacy updates
-
Additional budget discussions and planning items
Please note there are separate Zoom links for Friday and Saturday meetings.
If you have any questions regarding the schedule or agenda items, please feel free to reach out to me anytime.
On another note, I also want to cordially invite everyone to attend the High Desert Roundup coming up Memorial Day Weekend, May 22nd–25th.
Your opportunity to receive a free event t-shirt ends tomorrow night at midnight, so please make sure to get registered if you haven’t already.
Keith Graham, our event chair, is still looking for:
-
Help with kids games
-
Additional raffle prizes
-
Run leaders for several trail runs
We’re working hard to make this a spectacular event and showcase both the beauty of the Barstow area and the incredible off-road opportunities surrounding the historic Slash X Café.
Registration is still open, and we would love to see all of you out there.
As a final note, for those attending Molina this weekend, if possible please consider bringing a couple raffle prizes with you. It looks like the weather is going to be fantastic and the wheeling should be even better.
Be safe out there, have a great time and I hope to see many of you both at Molina, High Desert Roundup and at the Board Meeting in Sacramento immediately following Memorial Day Weekend.
Thank you everyone.
