Tim Terrell (Eastern Region)

Tim Terrell, 2023 AHRMA Trustee Candidate (Incumbent) – East

My name is Tim Terrell and I have been an AHRMA member for over 10 years and as my father used to say “son, it’s not the years on a car you look at, but the number of miles it has on it”. Well, I’ve got a lot of AHRMA miles on me with MX, Trials, Cross Country, and Road Racing. I started volunteering during my second year and enjoyed that so much that I took over as Southeast regional off-road coordinator.

Three years ago, I ran for Eastern Trustee and was blessed to be elected. I’ll admit the learning process has been much more difficult than expected. And with Covid, rising fuel prices and a weak economy, our sustainability is being tested as never before. AHRMA is my family and a huge part of my life. So, every decision we make as a board, I take to heart because it affects my friends and fellow club members. Do we always get it right… no; but I can assure you we try our very best. However, when we do miss the mark, I believe we should strive to learn from our mistakes and not let history repeat itself.

In closing, I will share a conversation I had with my wife Becky after having made a very tough decision during a board meeting: “Should I continue to be a trustee knowing how much it bothers me to make those hard decisions that may not be popular with our membership but are for the greater good?” Her reply was simple, “When it stops bothering you, is when you need to step down”. I agree, and I sincerely feel that I have a lot to offer to the AHRMA family.

I am asking for your vote as Eastern Trustee.
