Albert Newmann, AHRMA Trustee Candidate (Incumbent) West
My name is Albert Newmann, and I am running for Western Trustee. I currently serve as Western Trustee, my first term beginning in 2020. I also serve as South-Central Regional Off-Road Coordinator for the past eight years. I have served as a volunteer for eighteen years and assisted prior regional coordinators within that time span. In the past few years, I have actively participated with the Communications Committee, the Competition Committee, Regional Coordinators Committee, and the Off-Road Planning Committee. I have years of experience with current and former directors, coordinators, marketing/media, and trustees of AHRMA. As an Off-Road volunteer there is no job that has not been performed along with filling-in as race director. Routinely at my side is my wife Judy, who assists in whatever role needs filling on race day. It has been a pleasure to perform in these roles and I would like you to consider voting for me to continue serving as Trustee of this organization.
My first round as a Trustee was, well, wow is about all I can say. We walked immediately into a pandemic. What was thought to be a normal race season where we would address all these wonderful things on our agendas, instead became an immediate pivot to keep a viable Off-Road schedule together. It was a challenge nobody saw coming and I must admit our team did an outstanding job. And then 2021/2022 have been about inflation, recession, and lingering covid concerns which we fought through as well.
I work for one of the largest non-profit medical science research and fundraising organizations globally as a technical project manager. The experience and opportunities I have been exposed to, both professional and personal, inspire me to create positive change and contribute to an impactful difference for AHRMA. My nature is to work collaboratively taking incremental steps in achieving goals. My day-to-day job is similar in nature to the day-to-day functions of AHRMA. These numerous crises dealt with in the last three years are mirrored between my day job and my AHRMA work.
Items I want to address in the next three-year period are financial stability, Post Vintage Motocross growth in all areas of the country, and proper membership cost and benefits. Volunteerism across all disciplines needs attention and the need for varied levels of volunteers has jumped off the page as I learn more about the various programs’ roles. I am always looking for value additions to the members and that will not change as there is always opportunity waiting.
I remain committed to open, purposeful, and respectful dialogue, and discussion that includes all perspectives. If you decide to vote for me, you can do so with confidence that I will approach the best interest of our organization, maintain its core values, and most of all, be focused on the experiences you will encounter as a member of AHRMA. We have work to do, and it will not be easy so let us get to it.
