VBA Leadership Changes
Hey VBA Members,
As we have be going over various trainings for the new VBA leadership, there have been some additional changes that need to be announce. Jay Stephen’s family is expanding and his free time is become less and less and therefore it’s been decided that an alternative president of VBA would be best. Dave Jesse (Budman) has accepted the position as VBA president. Dave will be a great president for VBA. Dave has in one way or another help with several of VBA’s rallies. He has been leading in the south central region for years and both he and his wife enjoy riding their Vulcans. At the end of the month this change will be finalized. Dave Jesse (Budman) will be the new VBA President with Amin Bakri (Rasta) as the Vice President. Can everyone please show your support to these two as they lead VBA. Best, Jared

Change is inevitable, isn't it? It takes courage to admit and react to change. To me, Jared and Jay are not only showing courage but admitting they both care about the VBA. Care enough to admit that change has caused them to pass the VBA baton only after a couple of years. My thanks to Jared and Jay for their service as Leaders of the VBA. I wish them only the best in everything they do.
As far as their successors, I can't think of anyone any better to lead the VBA than Dave and Amin. It takes a lot of things to be a successful leader. Two traits I think a VBA leader has to have is commitment and patience. I've found that Dave and Amin have those traits and will continue to promote the VBA in such a way as to help it grow and prosper. I've known Dave for a number of years. He's always been one to get involved and make a difference for everyone in the VBA. I've seen Dave take on some of the most difficult issues and resolve them with dignity and fairness. I met Amin for the first time at the recent Antler's Rally. I was thoroughly impressed with his people skills and ability to make everyone a part. He loves to ride and help everyone in that effort. It is my opinion that both of these men carry an attitude that's probably most important as a leader of the VBA... they love their Vulcan Baggers... they love riding and they only want the best for each VBA member! Congrats to Dave and Amin for taking on the challenge! Trip PS. Yep, I still care about the VBA. I still frequent the VBA forum. I keep a loving watch on you guys from behind the curtain.

I'm confused?
Trip passed the baton and stepped down. Jared stepped down and passed the baton to Jay. Who's really got control of VBA if Jared and or trip is selecting and or picking new presidents? Wouldn't that be Jay's job?

Let me try and unconfuse you BD, in third person... Trip had nothing to do with the stepping down of Jared or Jay. Nor did he have anything to do with the passing of the VBA baton to Dave or Amin. Trip is simply saying the selection of Dave and Amin as VBA Pres and VP...is a good one.
