Volunteer Incentive Program

Our Ride Leader Incentive Awards Program was sweetened with a few changes for 2013.  I’ll try to summarize this next year’s program and hope this will energize a number of you to become approved ride leaders, and begin leading rides. 

 

Chit Program for 2013:

·          Your name goes into the monthly drawing as many times as you led rides or volunteered.

·          Two chits will be drawn per month.

·          You can win only once per month; and only twice per year.

·          Winners get $20 cash to be used anywhere.

 

 Continuing Awards for 2013

·          A pair of VBC socks awarded to each “newbie” first-time ride leader

·          A pair of VBC socks for all ride leaders leading one or more ride in 2013.

·          Lead 7 rides or volunteer 7 (or more times), get your choice of a club jersey or $50 cash.

 

  New Award for 2013:  “Meet or Beat 20”

·          If you lead 20 or more rides / or volunteer 20 or more times per year,

·          You earn $50 cash on top of the normal $50/jersey choice earned for 7 times.

 

  Rides on the Calendar and Impromptu Rides Redefined

·          Put a ride on the calendar, turn in your ride sheet and you will earn a ride leader credit.

·          Put an impromptu on the Buddies List 24 hours or more in advance of the ride start, turn in the ride sheet and you will earn a ride credit.

 

  Note: 

   To earn a credit you must turn in the ride sheet or a volunteer sheet, even if cancelled due to weather. Just write “Cancelled” on the sheet.  If you don’t turn in a sheet, the Assistant Road Captain assumes there was no ride, and you won’t get credit. This is not a change, just a reminder.  No sheet, no credit.
