Dear mountain bike advocates,

NorCAMBA registered for three people to attend the IMBA Summit and
World MTB Conference in Whistler, BC. Due to family medical issues,
one person is not able to attend. The Summit is June 20-23. We have
decided to offer this space up on a scholarship basis to someone
from northern California to attend. Additional costs of travel and
housing may also be subsidized depending on need. We have room in a
carpool, leaving a few days early and returning a few days late to
take advantage of riding opportunities between here and Whistler.

We are hoping to find someone who has an interest in trails advocacy
and would like to attend this valuable educational experience, and
experience the fabulous riding in Whistler and between here and
there. Preference will be given to applicants who make a commitment
to apply what they learn at the summit to advocacy issues here in
Northern California. You do not need to be a NorCAMBA member to
apply. U.S. Citizens must be prepared to present documentation such
as valid or expired U.S. passport, U.S. birth certificate, or
Naturalization certificate to avoid delays at the border.

To apply for this scholarship, please contact Patty Ciesla by email
before midnight on June 11th, responding to these questions:

1) Name and contact information
2) Dates you can travel
3) Describe your interest in mountain bike advocacy
4) Club membership, if any
5) Verify you can afford meals and other expenses related to the trip
6) Any other information
