AMVETS Riders Nation,
 
          I want to thank all of you for having faith in me to help lead as your National Riders 1st Vice. We will be having some changes this upcoming year as we move forward. The first change will be to have all DRF’s, dues, and revals sent to the RN1V instead of the Secretary. Next, we all need to work diligently on going paperless will all the DRF’s and revals, this will help a lot with tracking and also to make sure we have correct information. We all need to be patient as we work through these changes. All of us need to do our part with helping to increase membership and I will commit to helping you in any way I can.

         When you are filling out the Dues Remittance Forms, make sure to include all the member information, and have it legible, going electronic will help with that. We need accurate contact information so we can process it and also be able to communicate with all the membership, to include membership numbers. We also need to get updated revals annually, plus any time you have any Officer changes. If we don’t have accurate contact information, we can’t get communications out to you and keep you informed.

          We now have printable membership cards on the website, thank you Kelly Reando. You can find them by going to the PUBLICATIONS tab, then click on the FORMS AND DOCUMENTS dropdown tab. From there you can also fill in the cards before printing them.
​
          We will also start doing a membership conference call, it will be the 4th Sunday of all even numbered months, starting October 24th. This conference call is created for all 1st Vice’s, but open to anyone that wishes to participate. The notice will be getting sent out to all 1st Vice emails we have.
