One of the most frequent questions we get is "where does the WMA (or similar associations) get their mandate from". Within most geological areas an association is present which duty is to promote biking amongst bikers as well as the general public. These associations are managed and run by representatives of member clubs without compensation and with subscribed club members. An executive is elected amongst these clubs (within the association) which normally consists of a chairman, a vice chairman, a treasurer and a public relations person. In some cases (as in ours) there is a general secretary as well.
