What’s club got to do with it?

Access to the League’s special insurance package is one of the key benefits for our member clubs. If your club is a participant in our insurance, or you’re considering it, you’ll want to be part of our December 7 conference call about the program. We’re putting together our 2011 insurance package, and the call is your opportunity to weigh in. Please visit our Club Corner for information on how to join the call.

We’ve also recently unveiled our Club Leadership webinar schedule for the first months of 2011:

January 11: 2011 insurance package
We’ll roll out the 2011 club insurance package and answer your questions. With Marla Peters of American Specialty.

February 8: Marketing
We’ll discuss website, newsletter, and other outreach, with a focus on the upcoming Bike Month and Bike to Work Day, in May. Panelists TBA.

March 15: Organizing Rides and Volunteers
Panelists to include Mary Derks, of the Twin Cities Bicycling Club

April 12: Bike Education and Group Rides
We’ll discuss how to train and deploy League Certified Instructors in your organization, and how Bike Education can improve your reputation and community exposure, while lowering your insurance exposure.

May 10: Club Leadership 101
We’ll cover issues fundamental to any bicycle club, including incorporation and nonprofit status. Panelists from new and growing organizations will share their lessons learned.

All club leadership webinars are free to member clubs, thanks to sponsorship by SRAM. Contact Scott Williams, [email protected], if you’re interested in being part of these or any upcoming panels. Dates and details are subject to change.
