Report: Bylaws Committee Meeting – Azusa StreetRiders International

On February 19, 2025, a ASR bylaws committee convened at the behest of the members following the Annual Azusa StreetRiders business meeting 2024. This group met to systemize the current ASR Bylaws and bring our current legal language up to date to protect our organization and clearly state our mission as a non-profit motorcycle ministry.

We were graciously hosted by Pastor Hattabaugh of The Pentecostals of Cooper City, FL. The meeting was attended by Fred Beall, Ron Thwing, Howard Ketron, Julie McGhghy, National Secretary, and chairman Jeff Keck, National Vice President.

Over two and a half days, the committee revised the language of our bylaws, addressed unnecessary liabilities, clarified membership requirements, further defined organizational jurisdiction, governance, fees, and chapter authority.

By the end of the meeting, we addressed questions concerning particular articles of our Bylaws that were raised at the 2024 ASR annual meeting. The committee will be meeting again via Zoom in April to codify updates, corrections, and changes so they are ready to be presented to the 2025 Resolution Committee.

Many thanks to the Bylaws Committee members for their time, effort, and for providing their own travel expenses. This was a successful endeavor and we look forward to next steps.
