I would like to recommend Norrene. She will be very energetic which is
something needed for the OBRA board.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Running for 2017 OBRA Board of Directors - looking for
your vote
Hello to all OBRA members!
Some of you know me, and some of you may not. My name is Norrene Godfrey,
and I have been a member of OBRA for about 30 years now. It's hard to
believe that it has been that long; I remember Mike Murray, shaking his head
as I rolled up on my Gitane, toe clips, hairnet, all American Flyers style.
It must have been a sight. I have evolved since my first race in 1987, but I
have not lost that raw enthusiasm and passion for the sport of cycling and
OBRA. I���m excited about running for a position on the OBRA Board of
Directors.
As many of you may know Mike Murray is stepping down from the OBRA BOD.
While I will never be able to fill those big shoes of his, I can offer up my
years of experience and knowledge I have gleaned from the sport of cycling.
A few projects I have been involved in over the years include:
UCI Team Ownership:
������ Land Rover-Orbea LLC-Developed women and U23 athletes ������ Project
London-Developed US Olympic Sprint athletes
Business Planning, Brand Building, and Strategic Marketing for:
������ DNA [visit Dallas DNA women's UCI��� team] ������ Pure Black UCI team [NZL] ���
ORBEA USA and ORBEA Spain ������ HIA Bicycles [Handmade in Ameria] ������ AVC
[Alpenrose Velodrome Challenge] ������ Nine13 Sports NW ������ LIVESTRONG
organization for team[s] involvement
Other Service:
������ Two years as a member of the USAC track committee ������ Worked to reconnect
ATRA and USAC ������ Laid the groundwork for reciprocity between Oregon and USAC
for cyclocross ������ Behind the scenes work for PVC [Portland Velodrome
Committee] in 2017 and beyond
OBRA has always been about having fun and racing your bike. My goals
include: helping move OBRA forward and grow the membership, bring back road
racing and the track, advance new avenues of cycling while developing youth,
women memberships, and keeping strong with OBRA's staple of cyclocross.
We are very lucky to have OBRA and live in the Pacific Northwest; not all
states have such a thriving cycling culture as Oregon. We need to make sure
we keep nurturing OBRA to ensure it goes strong for at least another 30
years. I love OBRA and want to volunteer my time and serve on the Board of
Directors. I���m asking you today for your support and vote on January 28th.
Cheers
Norrene
