SAM Meeting Club Attendance (Dan Gould)

The agenda at a SAM meeting is pretty packed, so much so that getting through all of the business in two short hours can be a challenge. There are typically plenty of issues, which are debated thoroughly, followed by votes that define the direction of the Snowmobile Association of Massachusetts.

Your club delegates are the SAM Board of Directors and they take the priorities of our association seriously, as you would expect. I encourage clubs to support their delegates and listen carefully to the SAM report they deliver at your club meetings every month. Discussion is key. I truly appreciate the time and effort they invest in SAM.

Attendance is paramount to understanding the issues and making thoughtful decisions. The SAM Board of Directors (Delegates) ruled several years ago that any club not attending a minimum of 60% of the meetings is out of compliance. Please be sure that your club has a second delegate that can fill-in if the primary cannot attend. Any meeting missed is an opportunity lost.
