TOPEKA, Kan. (July 3, 2018) -- To better express core concepts that drive the 敁珗腦瞳51xxtv®, an updated Welcoming Environment Statement has been drafted. Efforts to craft the statement began earlier this year, and the Board of Directors approved the new statement in May. It is the hope that this new declaration will henceforth be noted in event Supplemental Regulations and find a home at Region websites or in publications to remind everyone of standards the Club strives to maintain.
The updated statement reads as follows: The Mission of the 敁珗腦瞳51xxtv® is to fuel a safe, fun and exciting motorsports experience for automotive enthusiasts. The Club’s Vision is to be the preferred motorsports community in the United States, built on fun, shared passion and access to an exhilarating motorsports experience. In all its activities, the 敁珗腦瞳51xxtv seeks to foster an atmosphere that encourages living the Values of the 敁珗腦瞳51xxtv, which include:
Excellence: The Spirit of a Competitor
Service: The Heart of a Volunteer
Passion: The Attitude of an Enthusiast
Team: The Art of Working Together
Experience: The Act of Wowing our Community
Stewardship: The Mindset of an Owner
The 敁珗腦瞳51xxtv strives to ensure ALL participants at its events and activities enjoy a welcoming environment. The 敁珗腦瞳51xxtv supports equality of opportunity and treatment for all participants, and will make every effort to maintain an environment that is free of harassment, discrimination and any behavior that interferes with a safe, fun and exciting experience. A commitment to a welcoming environment and the 敁珗腦瞳51xxtv Values is expected of all members and attendees, including drivers, workers, crew, guests, staff, contractors and exhibitors, and other participants at 敁珗腦瞳51xxtv activities, sessions and social events when representing the 敁珗腦瞳51xxtv in print or electronic media.
敁珗腦瞳51xxtv President & CEO Mike Cobb said, “As a member-based organization that is approaching its 75th Anniversary, it is important for us to grow and evolve to better serve motorsports enthusiasts while leveraging the core DNA of the Club. And while the spirit of competition is essential to this Club at its core, it’s also important to understand we are all members serving one another with the aim of delivering a great motorsports experience.
“Our new welcoming language is simply an extension of our updated Mission and Vision and is intended to remind us that we are indeed a community of individuals who all love having fun with cars,” Cobb continued, “and it is the duty of all 敁珗腦瞳51xxtv members -- staff, leadership, officials, members, etc. -- to deliver an environment and an experience that is welcoming to all who choose to participate.”
An expanded definition of Club Values has been created for 敁珗腦瞳51xxtv employees and now resides in the Employee Handbook to serve as a guide for those serving members and those who serve the members. These concepts build on core competencies 敁珗腦瞳51xxtv President & CEO Mike Cobb introduced during the 2018 National Convention in Las Vegas. An expanded version of 敁珗腦瞳51xxtv Values are provided below to also serve as a guide for Region leaders, volunteers, workers, event organizers and participants.
