WSBA Mailing List Update

12/7/2018

0 Comments

 
After 20+ years, the server managing the WSBA & OBRA list servs has managed its last listing. Thus, we’re moving to the community communication tool from the old school list-serv to Google Groups.
​
We realize Google Groups are not perfect but the price is right as is the simplicity of managing the solution.
To read WSBA Groups: Go to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/wsba.  You can also join the group and receive email, and you can set up delivery as: no email, abridged email, or digest.
 
To post:
  1. Join the WSBA Google Group
  2. Go to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/wsba and click "NEW TOPIC"
  3. Or reply to an existing topic
To join:
  1. Go to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/wsba
  2. Click "Join group"
  3. Sign in to or create a Google account
You can use a non-Gmail email for your Google account, but Google, in its monopolistic paternalism, doesn't make it easy. I'm sure many of us don't like that. I don't either. We're still using Google Groups because:
  • Any forum or list will require an account. The old Mailman system did, too, and it was terrible.
  • We looked at alternatives, and while some may be better for some people, this is the most sustainable option for all of us.
On the plus side, by migrating to Google Groups we now have the capability for categorizing messages by topics.
We’re starting out with these three:
  • Announcements: similar to the existing list-serv. This is where race announcements, results, and WSBA relevant announcements will be placed.
  • Buy/Sell: for individuals to post the equipment they have to sell or are looking to buy.
  • Chat: general dialog section for discussions about competitive cycling or other cycling related topics.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.

WSBA Annual Meeting & BARR Awards

12/1/2018

0 Comments

 
The WSBA 2018 annual meeting will be held on:
Saturday, December 15, 2018
4:00-5:30 pm
Cascade Bicycle Club offices
7787 62nd Avenue NE
Seattle WA 98115

2018 BARR Awards will also be handed out at this meeting. ​
​

The Board of Directors has endorsed a slate of candidates for the open board positions:
West Region Representative: Martha Lane Walsh
Northwest Region Representative (and MTB Director): Glen Conley

Regarding the Northwest Region position. We pursued a number of folks that live further north and we had no takers. Instead of leaving the position vacant we decided to fill it with Glen who will represent the “dirt” community as well. A position we value.
The bylaws say reasonable effort be made for a geographic representation and after 2+ weeks of attempts the reasonable standard was met.
Directors on the Board are elected for three-year terms by a vote of the membership (one vote per USAC club in Washington, North Idaho, and Oregon who are present at the meeting), conducted at the annual meeting.
The WSBA bylaws allow additional nominations from any two directors or ten individual members, "by written petition addressed to the Secretary of the corporation at least 10 days prior to the date of the annual meeting." If you have anyone else you would like to consider for a director position, please e-mail the secretary at wsbaresults at yahoo.com.
The Board of Directors elects officers of the WSBA Board. If you are interested in being, or know of someone who is interested in being, an officer, feel free to contact the WSBA secretary. Officer positions are President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer and may be held by individuals who are not members of the Board of Directors.
