I am excited to announce two new members to the Member Representative Team.
@beyondthepavement (AK) and
@David H (Southern Idaho).
Both members have been diligently working on setting up meetups, planning trips and helping spread the Overland Bound values to their communities.
@David H is a single father raising his girl to love and respect the outdoors. David is newish to Overlanding and camping, but is not new to outdoor adventure. He grew up skiing all over Colorado, Montana, and Idaho. He also was part of several 4 wheel drive clubs in Denver, Colorado before he moved to Boise. David Joined Overland Bound to meet like minded people in the Boise area so he could learn of places to take his daughter exploring. I am excited for the work he has done this far for the Overland Bound Community, and cant see what else he has in store for the region as a whole. Welcome to the team David.
@beyondthepavement Marek Dodson, is from North Pole, Alaska. He has been a member a long time and was asked to be a representative for Alaska several years a go, due to personal circumstances at the time he turned down the invitation. When I sent a message to the masses asking how we the member representative team could assist Alaskans with becoming more active in the Overland Bound Community, Marek immediately sent a message to
@Kent R and myself asking how he could help. Marek was able to put together a meetup in only a very short couple of days where he had several members show up for breakfast. Since then Marek has been working with other members to host their own meetups and campouts. I am very happy to have Marek on the team.
If any of you are interested in knowing more about what a Member Representative does, or how you can help our growing community please feel free to contact myself, or your closest member representative. I am still needing Member Representatives in the Willamette Valley, Central Oregon, Anchorage Alaska, and Central Washington. If you, or someone you know can fill these rolls please let me or the member representative team know.
