NOHVA Annual Meeting Held

The NOHVA Annual meeting for 2006 was held on January 29^th at the York Nebraska Holiday Inn.  The first order of business was to elect new officers of the Headworks/Halsey chapter.  The election results of officers is summarized at the end of this article.  The new amendments to the by-laws were discussed and voted upon as well.  After a short vote, the new by-laws were approved.   A copy of the amended by-laws is available upon request from Dan Nitzel or can be viewed on the www.nohva.com web site.  After the Headworks/Halsey chapter business was completed, the Annual meeting began.

          The first order of business was to vote on amendments to the by-laws again, and once again they were approved.  New directors to the Board were elected and the results are summarized at the end of this article. 

The financial report for 2005 was discussed.  The report broke down income by seven categories that include memberships, donations and events income.  Expenses were broke down into 24 separate categories.  Copies of the expense report is available to NOHVA members upon request from Dan Nitzel at the NOHVA business office.

In other business Dan Nitzel gave the business managers report.  Dan described the various projects and duties he is involved with and NOHVA is involved with. 

The future of the Halsey Trails committee was discussed.  It was decided to retain the Halsey Trails Committee for the time being and consider re-organizing the committee and possibly turning it into a NOHVA chapter.  As of this writing, discussions are underway with interested members concerning on how to re-organize and plan the future path of the Halsey Trails Committee.

Andy McCleary of the Flat Rock Riders gave a chapter report.  Currently they have plans for make a drag strip, improve the kids track, and they have surveyed the riders asking them for suggestions for improvements.  Andy reports that there will be portable toilets installed at the park this year. 

After some discussion, it was decided to refund back to the Flat Rock Riders chapter $520 for this year.  This amount is based on a 50% refund of dues collected from 37 NOHVA members in the Sutherland area last year.  As an incentive for riders to join NOHVA and support the Sutherland Park, we will give back to the chapter 50% of the dues collected above the $1020 level.  This years refund will be made when the chapter produces copies of last years meeting minutes and a summary of income and expenses is forwarded to the Business Manager and Board of Directors President. 

Next year, the refund will be based on the actual number of paid NOHVA members and we will update our 2006 accounting records to track actual membership more effectively. 

Following the Annual Meeting, a Board of Directors meeting was held.  Every year the Board of Directors authorizes procedures on how NOHVA will operate for the year.
