GA Assistant District Director Rider Education Renewal Changes Effective immediately, the requirement for annual renewal for Levels II-IV is discontinued. Going forward, the focus will be solely on assisting members in updating and maintaining their certifications and training. The ONLY update to be submitted will be training certification renewals and only submitted when the current certifications expire or the certification has been refreshed. For example, Joe Member has an ERC completion card dated 9-15-05. He will not need to submit any paperwork until 9-15-08 to update this requirement. Likewise, updates for CPR and First Aid only need to be submitted when the current completion card expires. Members wishing to purchase the annual participation pins (formerly known as renewal bars or pins) can do so at any time by purchasing these from their CE/DE or RE. The Masters “Renewal” pin will remain the supplied pin until such time as inventory is depleted and we can reorder new “Participation” pins. In support of this process change, the Level I-III and Level IV applications will no longer contain renewal information. Updates for course completions and certifications will be submitted on the newly revised form N.10 “Update” Form (dated March 2006). Since the elimination of the renewal fee and the annual renewal process for any level there is no cost to “catch up” any expired requirements, simply have the member submit their current completion and certification cards with a completed Form N.10 to become active in the program and current in their certifications.

What is the Rider Education Program?
The GWRRA Rider Education Program (REP) is intended to make
the motorcycle environment safer by reducing injuries and fatalities and
increasing motorcyclist skills and awareness. The REP does not propose to
have all the answers. However, our close-working relationship with the
Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF), as well as additional GWRRA programs and
studies, has provided a wealth of information for use in establishing a
comprehensive Rider Education Program. Through Commitment, Education
and Application, we can reduce our accident rate significantly.
Listed below are several benefits of a fully implemented GWRRA Rider
Education Program at the Chapter level:
Take The MSF Motorcycle Challenge! Practice important simulations that put you on your motorcycle and on the road in various situations.
