Affiliate Chapter Organization
General Management
Our affiliate chapters operate independently within the parameters of our organizational focus. A local organizer has joined leagues with us and we've assist them with setup and organizational maintenance. We strike a healthy degree of balance between uniformity and individuality to be proficient and successful in our cause.
Our Affiliate Agreement provides that a portion of the funds raised locally are contributed to the Bikers Against Heroin U.S.A. National Fund and a portion is directed locally.
Bikers Against Heroin U.S.A. provides organizational resources and support allowing the affiliate chapter to focus upon the objective of fundraising through the hard work of event organization. An integrated information system allows all of them to peek into how the others accomplish tasks, including the results.
