As announced last week Gary Craig will be stepping down and track operator at the end of the 2021 season and with this decision Richmond BMX will also be modifying our organizational structure to 1) remove the burden of all responsibilities of maintaining and operating the track from a few to many and in doing so 2) we hope to establish new, and improve upon existing, processes. While change is never easy, we believe that by distributing responsibilities across several roles and by empowering each of those team members to own and cultivate their own team and or process will only improve upon our already strong BMX community.


Below is a list of roles and general responsibilities that we are currently looking to fill for the 2022 season. Full details about each role including basic tasks and responsibilities can be found here: https://docs.google.com/.../1jUlKzyvKYTTOdYz9Z5cb.../edit...


• TRACK OPERATOR: Our new TO will own and manage all organizational needs associated with track management and will continue to develop and cultivate a positive community focused on our favorite sport - BMX! You’ll have the keys to the kingdom and this is no small task (although this new organization structure aims to minimize general stress and overall responsibilities).

• ASSISTANT TRACK OPERATOR: Gary will fill this role in support of new TO transition

• CLINIC ORGANIZER: will own and lead a weekly clinic program. This role requires USA BMX certification that will be sponsored by and paid for by the track.
