On September 30, 2021, the Hobble Creek Bicycle Association met to approve by-laws and elect a board of directors in preparation to apply for official 501(c)3 status with the State of Utah and the IRS. After debating and voting on a few matters the by-laws were approved. Elections were then held and the results were as follows:
Executive Director – Jeff Hardy
Secretary – Jonathan Duncan
Advocacy Director – Kurtt Boucher
Road Biking Director – Mike Snelson
Family Biking Director – Logan Millsap
Mountain Biking Director – Chris Morrill
Bicycle Maintenance Director – Griffin Park
Publicity Director – Jonathan Duncan
Since that meeting I have completed the application to register as a nonprofit corporation in the state of Utah and have received our federal EIN. The next step is to apply with the IRS, which will happen in the coming week or so. So, three years after our organization, we are now official in the eyes of the state and hopefully will also soon be in the eyes of the federal government. We hope this will give us more weight as we work to educate and to promote the use of bicycles in Springville and Mapleton.
