As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, MTB Missoula is run by a whole lot of volunteers and three staff. We have an all-volunteer Board of Directors that oversees the direction of the organization, and six volunteer committees that detail and assist with operations. Many board members first get involved through joining one of these committees.
We're actively recruiting passionate mountain bikers to join a committee. Please get in touch with questions or interest.
