NOHVCC, in conjunction with the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC) and the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America (SVIA), announces a scholarship for the spring semester 2009-2010 of course 451/551 Planning and Design of OHV Trails. The course may be completed on-line and is 3 semester credit hours.

This course is the second of a 4 part OHV Recreation Management track offered by Marshall University. The content for the courses was developed in cooperation with NOHVCC. The funding for this scholarship is provided by MIC and SVIA. Application for the scholarship can be received by contacting NOHVCC. All completed applications must be received by NOHVCC by the end of the day 12/15/09.

2009 has been a great year, but also a year of budget uncertainty for many people, corporations, and agencies. Due to these budget uncertainties, and because a non-profit, tax-exempt organization cannot enter into a contract it may not have the funding to fulfill, NOHVCC has not signed any contracts for our 2010 conference.

Our 2010 budget should be finalized between December 2009 and February 2010. At that time, NOHVCC will begin plans for the 2010 conference. Given the large lead times required for such an event, the most likely date for the next conference will be in September or October of 2010. We are excited about this prospect as it will widen the range of possibilities for our conference location.

We will keep you informed of the conference information and details as soon as they come together. We appreciate your interest in our conference and hope to see you at the 2010 conference.
