Heart of the North Snowmobile Council

The Heart of the North Snowmobile Council was established in 2001 to cover the Center of the Lower
Pennisula's North Country snowmobiling area. By-Laws were established in 2002 to formalize the Council.

This Council covers an eight county area in the Michigan Snowmobile Association's Region 2 and has 3
appointed delegates to the MSA that activily hold seats on the Board of Directors of that organization.

A majority of the Clubs and DNR Grant Holding entities in the area belong to the Council as active
participants. (Currently TEN organizations are ACTIVE, with SEVEN holding Trail Grants). Under the By-Laws
of the Michigan Snowmobile Association all clubs and associations with-in the Council District are members
of the Council. Then, each entity is intitled to Actively join the Council, or just be passive in their area. ALL
REPRESENTATION on the MSA Board is through their Council. In non Council areas, representation may be
by an at-large appointed representative. Clubs, but not Councils are entitled to one vote in the election of
officers. All other business of the MSA is conducted through their Council Representatives and the
Executive Committee of the Association. Executive Committee consists of ALL OFFICERS of the Association,
Past President(s) and three duly elected Board Members from each of the Three Regions of the Association
(Officers except the President each hold one of their 3 regional seats). Full Board of Directors meetings are
alternated with meetings of the Executive Board during the year. Executive Committee members are
expected to play an ACTIVE ROLL in the operation of the Association (such as a leadership roll in one of the
many committees it takes to operate).
