The HMBA is a central Indiana based, nonprofit trail advocacy and natural surface trail building organization with the mission to enhance responsible and sustainable mountain biking in Indiana by: - Working with land management agencies to secure access and develop trail master plans - Securing resources to execute the mission of the organization and key stakeholders - Building and maintain trail networks - Supporting the growth of a world class mountain bike community 2017 Objectives (Highlights)

• Generate a communications plan and execute • Generate a 5 year trail vision for Central Indiana and • Generate the time scale and cost for execution of phase 3 of the shovel ready trail plan for Brown County (BCSP, YSF, HNF) and execute the 2017 portion of the plan (Hobbs Hollow) • Raise $100k by the end of 2017 to cover the completion of Hobbs Hollow and the 2018 trail plan IMBA Update: Overview

• The Chapter program has been in place for six years and was financially supported by Subaru. The loss of Subaru as the key sponsor of the program demands that we now restructure it based on what has been learned. • The program’s focus has been on organizing clubs into an association and investing in local, on-the-ground resources (Region Directors and Associate RDs). While the impact on the ground from this investment has been significant in terms of local advocacy, the necessary growth in membership to make the program financially sustainable has not materialized. • Subaru’s partnership was equal to almost one third of all membership dues nationwide. IMBA Update: Chapter 2.0

• Base membership dues increase from $35 to $49. The current average dues paid by all IMBA members is over $50. • New hybrid revenue share model recognizes that as Chapters get to a higher degree of effectiveness their needs change. • Re-introduction of a national insurance program. • Switch to a national Subject Matter Expert (SME) service delivery model from the current geographically based Region Director model. • Implement Regional Leadership Councils that will provide Chapter Leaders with much better access to each other and direct access to IMBA’s executive team. • As IMBA begins a broader initiative to engage many more mountain bikers, we’ll direct these contacts to Chapters for member recruitment. • A trail building fund that offers direct financial support back to Chapters. IMBA Update: Revenue Share

• For most Chapters, the current 60% IMBA and 40% Chapter revenue share will remain in place. – IMBA will transition to a Subject Matter Expert (SME) model from the current geographically based Region Director service model. This will help us deliver services in a more cost effective manner. In addition, access to multiple experts will better support chapter needs. – If a Chapter wants in-person, on-site services, they’ll be offered on a fee- for-service basis. • Chapters that have reached the level of having paid staff will have the option of choosing a revenue share of 40% IMBA and 60% Chapter. – The additional funds will allow the Chapter to have more say in how dollars are used locally (whether for staffing or other priorities). – No free staff services. If a Chapter wants remote or in-person services, they’ll be offered on a fee-for-service basis. IMBA Update: Conclusions

• IMBA remains an important national trail advocacy organization and it’s important to ensure they are successful – Please continue to support IMBA as a member – Be aware that only a portion of your membership goes to local trails (as long as HMBA remains a chapter) • HMBA wants to continue to be an IMBA chapter, but we’re currently evaluating the details of Chapter 2.0 to make the final determination – Step in the right direction • Revenue share vs. value add has been a topic of debate for the past year • National insurance coverage is definitely a positive, but additional information is pending – Executive Director is now an HMBA employee as of January 2017 Volunteer Recognition
