WHAT LEVEL OF SUPPORT DOES YOUR LOCAL AND NATIONAL ORGANIZATION GIVE TO EACH MEMBER? |

Support comes in many shapes and sizes. At the local level it can be shown as how rides, charities and group actives are organized and participated in by the membership and the help available from the members and directors from both the local and national levels in accomplishing their goals. Support can also come in the way of funds raised by the group through membership dues, 50/50, etc. or direct help from the local and/or national level. Support also can be seen by the participation level of the members of their activities although it is impossible for everyone to attend every bike function in their area. With the popularity and explosion of biking worldwide there are multiple events practically each day of the week to choose from. It is not necessary for a successful group to have every member attend each riding activity and function but it is important to feel support at both the local and national level of each and every event that you participate in. Support can also be found in simple ways as well such as encouraging words, e-mails or just a pat on the back. It can also be in formal or informal ways such as media recognition or word of mouth. But a variety of support from both the local as well as national levels is necessary to have a truly successful group and organization.
Diva Angels, Inc. supports it's members and chapters in a variety of ways. Our chapter handbook gives detailed information regarding running meetings, activities and fundraising events along with encouraging a regular flow of new ideas from it's members. Help is always available if needed to any member at both the local as well as national levels. We believe the future of women's biking comes from the ideas of present riders and all members are encouraged to bring new ideas to the table on a regular basis. Also, our web site provides information at both the national and local levels and we encourage new chapters to offer a web site of their own which can be done through the national site as well. A goal of Diva Angels, Inc. is to always have each individual member as well as each chapter feel supported and appreciated as they deserve.
