MN4WDA Committees






Why Committees Matter

Just as off-roading requires teamwork and coordination to conquer different terrains, our organization relies on committees to navigate its path.
These committees play a vital role in the smooth operation of our club and the enhancement of our members’ experiences.
Whether you’re a seasoned off-roader or a newcomer to the world of four-wheeling, our committees offer numerous
opportunities to engage, contribute, and make a meaningful impact.



Spring Convention Committee

Our Spring Convention is a highlight of the MN4WDA calendar, bringing members together for a weekend of off-roading, education, and fun. The Spring Convention Committee plans and organizes this exciting event, ensuring it’s a memorable experience for all.

Committee members will collaborate to plan the annual spring convention event, including venue, event schedule, sponsors, donations, special activities, banquet dinner, other meals, necessary supplies, budget constraints, volunteer coordination, event ticketing, raffle, other prizes, event advertising and promotion, preregistration, event merchandise, speakers or guests, and any other items pertaining to the event. This committee is active only during Spring Convention planning, typically November – May.
