MSA Planning the future........

On Saturday April 19,2008 over 100 interested snowmobiler's and grant sponsors spent the day in facilitated focus groups. These focus groups were being used to chart a direction for MSA to use in their strategic planning process.

Information collected from the day�s meeting will be used by the board of directors to further dissect the information collected and put together the plan for MSA to follow in the coming years.

Special thanks to Rick Troy

Rick Troy donated his time and expertise as a facilitator to MSA for the day. Rick works as the Executive Director for the Macomb County Bar Association.

A MSA delegation went to Washington DC on April 8th to tell the Michigan House and Senate representatives about Michigan Snowmobiling! They had good meetings with all of the Representatives offices as well as both Senate offices. The message they took to Washington was to make sure that they knew that snowmobiler's want to maintain the present access they currently have in the 3 Michigan National Forests and Pictured Rock National Lakeshore. They also talked about the importance of the economic impact and the importance of closing the loophole in the HIPPA Act for insurance.

They were joined there by representatives from the American Council of Snowmobile Associations (ACSA) and 22 other snowmobile state delegates.
