About ASA

ASA’s mission is simple and powerful:

UNITE, INFORM, and MOBILIZE the sand duning community to protect the right to ride on public lands in a responsible, environmentally balanced manner.

We are a volunteer-driven organization that works at the local, state, and national levels to keep OHV areas open and accessible—through education, advocacy, and strong partnerships.

We are seeking individuals who:

• Have a background, history, or active involvement in the OHV community
• Believe in responsible recreation and stewardship
• Understand that access is earned through behavior and engagement
• Bring experience in areas such as:
  • Off-road recreation
  • Land use or advocacy
  • Business, finance/accounting, marketing, or fundraising
  • Event coordination
  • Government or agency relations
• Are willing to work as part of a team and contribute ideas, energy, and leadership

What to Expect

• Volunteer Position – Board members are not compensated
• Monthly Virtual Meetings – Consistent participation is important
• Field Engagement – Typically includes one or two trips per year to the Imperial Sand Dunes (Glamis)
• Active Involvement – Board members help guide ASA strategy, outreach, and advocacy efforts

Why Serve?

Serving on the ASA Board is more than a title—it’s a chance to:

• Protect access to one of America’s most iconic riding areas
• Shape the future of sand recreation
• Be part of a team that gets things done
• Give back to a community that has given us all so much

As we often say in the stewardship world: Access doesn’t stay open by accident—it stays open because people step up.
