FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hilliard, OH, (June 12, 2009) Steve Doan, Chairman of the NBL Bylaws Committee, and the NBL Board of Directors, is excited to announce the passage of revised Bylaws at the last board of directors meeting. These Bylaw revisions are a direct result of this years spirited Competition Congress and are a major step toward furthering the democratic principles and openness of the NBL – the only not-for-profit BMX sanctioning organization.

Steve Doan would like to recognize the hard work and dedication of the committee members, Paul Kincheloe, Darol Carr, Betty Mulligan and Connie Shepler. The committee meetings were frank, open and sometimes spirited but in the end all found common ground. The committee’s proposed changes were reviewed by the entire NBL Board of Directors over the last month. During the June 11 board meeting, some changes were recommended by board members that were incorporated into the final revisions. Between the work of the committees, the entire board of directors and NBL staff, these Bylaw revisions, along with other recently announced changes, show the NBL has heard its members’ concerns and are making substantive responsive changes.

These changes, more then anything else, demonstrate what differentiates the NBL from all other BMX sanctioning organizations - the NBL is everyone’s organization and is committed to its members and riders. This is an exciting time to be a rider, parent, or a volunteer in the NBL

The newly energized Board of Directors continues to develop new initiatives and vision for the future of NBL and BMX and welcomes further involvement by all its members.
