Muriel Farrington
White River Junction, Vermont
I started riding in my late 50ÔÇÖs after encouragement from other BMW riders to ÔÇ£take the courseÔÇØ. Now ten years later, I have my 100,000 Mile Award and am well on my way toward 200,000 miles. I often ride solo, including most of my 7-week trip to Gillette, and another to St. Louis and beyond for an extended tour south and east. Other trips have been from the southern Appalachians, up through New England, and on into Nova Scotia and Ontario, camping whenever possible. It is hard to describe how much IÔÇÖve benefited from riding ÔÇô from the people IÔÇÖve met, to the places IÔÇÖve been, and the self confidence IÔÇÖve gained.
IÔÇÖve been retired for almost two years; that was preceded by 17 years as an Army wife followed by a career in the software industry. In addition to serving on our BMW MOA Board, my experience includes serving on town zoning and library boards, state and regional archeological and historical societies, neighborhood condominium association, and a local charity providing court-mandated services for supervised child visitations. In the past IÔÇÖve sponsored youth organizations and served as Scout leader.
As a decade-long member of the BMW MOA, IÔÇÖve attended seven International rallies and will be riding to Redmond this year. I was Media Chair at the Vermont Rally and chaired the Electric Charging Station in Gillette and Johnson City; I will be producing the daily newsletter in Redmond.
Active in the BMW Motorcycle Owners of Vermont since 2000, I am serving my fourth year as President and my tenth year as newsletter editor. I also served as the BMW MOVÔÇÖs Secretary and co-chaired the Green Mountain Rally. Other memberships include the BMW RA, AMA, other local New England BMW clubs, and the Chain Gang.
I have served as your BMW MOA secretary since July 2007, expanding the amount of detail released from our quarterly board meetings. I also serve on the BoardÔÇÖs Events and Communications Committees. When I ran for Secretary in 2007, I stated that my goals were to be an example to aspiring riders of all ages ÔÇô especially women, to promote rider education and safety, recruit new members, and be a liaison for BMW MOA members. I believe I have accomplished much of what I intended, but the job is not over. I am part of the newly-formed BMW MOA Recruiting Team, and I expect to make more strides in recruiting new members.
I want to continue as your Secretary for another term. My can-do attitude and positive outlook on life have served me well in the past, bringing various groups together for an expanded future. I complete projects on time, striving for an outcome that benefits the organization. I have time and energy, enjoy contributing to my local community and the organizations to which I belong, and believe I exert a positive influence. Will you re-elect me as your Secretary?
