Take the Lead — Nominate Yourself for the MMS Board!
Mesa Monument Striders is your club, and this is your chance to help shape its future. We're inviting members to step up and run for a position on the Board of Directors — not only to keep the club running smoothly, but to ensure it continues to reflect the priorities of its members.
Serving on the board is one of the most meaningful ways to contribute. It gives you a voice in decisions that affect events, races, outreach, and the direction of the organization. It’s our way of handing ownership back to the people who make MMS what it is — our members.
Help guide the future of MMS — consider running for a board position!
