If you don’t already know – the NOHVCC Annual Conference will be virtual and will be held October 15-16, 2021. To read more check out Update on 2021 NOHVCC Annual Conference.

While we understand that face-to-face meetings provide the best opportunity for sharing information, we are going to do our best to facilitate some open discussion virtually. We hope to hear from you about which topics should be a focus of several breakout sessions that will provide an opportunity to talk to one another about issues faced and overcome, best practices and all that is going on with respect to OHV recreation during these interesting times.

Please take a few minutes to fill in our survey here. You can help direct which topics will be discussed – please take advantage of this opportunity!

Reminder – Information on 2021 Elections:

Each year NOHVCC State Partners elect NOHVCC’s Board of Directors at the Annual Conference – except for last year due to COVID-19 scuttling the in-person meeting. Instead, the NOHVCC Board of Directors opted to postpone voting. While we cannot meet in person again this year, the Directors have decided it necessary to move forward with virtual elections this year.

NOHVCC has developed a procedure for all State Partners to cast votes, but first we need to know who would like to be nominated for the positions which will be voted upon.

All interested NOHVCC State Partners are eligible to run for open or contested positions on the Board. Again, ONLY NOHVCC State Partners in good standing are eligible to run. Nominees can only run for ONE open or contested position.

If you are a NOHVCC State Partner and are interested in serving on NOHVCC’s Board of Directors, you can nominate yourself by sending us an email at [email protected].

There are three ways to serve on the Board:

Officer

There are three officers who serve staggered two-year terms on NOHVCC’s Board – Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary. This year the President and Secretary positions are up for election. NOTE: To run for President you must have at least one year of prior service on the NOHVCC Board of Directors. To run for Secretary you must have at least six months of prior service on the NOHVCC Board of Directors.

Issue Area Representative (IAR)

Issue Area Representatives (IAR) serve staggered two-year terms and are expected to maintain knowledge and expertise on relevant issue area. The issue areas are Public Lands, Private Lands, Youth and Education, Clubs and Associations, as well as the IAR representative to the Network Development Team which is responsible for recruiting NOHVCC Partners and other volunteer efforts. Any Partner can request the formation of an ad hoc Committee to be approved by the Board of Directors. Ad hoc Committees will be Chaired by the appropriate IAR and can be formed for a variety of reasons. The Network Development Team will be a Standing Committee comprised of Partners who volunteer to serve on the Committee.

At Large

There are three members of the Board who are elected by NOHVCC Partners to serve staggered two-year terms as At-Large members, which essentially means they are not an Officer or an Issue Area Representative.

Voting Procedure

Each STATE will be allowed to cast one vote in NOHVCC elections. NOHVCC staff will reach out to all State Partners and ask each Partner to cast votes. If a majority of Partners from an individual State select a particular nominee – that nominee will receive the State’s vote. In the event there is a tie for one or more positions, NOHVCC staff will follow up with the appropriate Partners and ask if they can come to a consensus. If consensus amongst the Partners cannot be reached, then NOHVCC’s bylaws require a Network Development Team representative to oversee a coin toss to break any ties.
