Update from the BETA Board

​Dear Friends,

In his three years at the helm, BETA Executive Director Glenn Glover helped our organization mature, grow our finances and expand our membership base. Going forward, the foundation he set will serve BETA well as we prepare to transition to a new executive director to lead us into the next phase of organizational development. 

Glenn’s notable accomplishments include continuing to grow the transformational trail network at East Branch Community Trails in Keene, making major trail improvements at Craig Wood prior to thousands of mountain bikers visiting the region for the World Cup races in 2024, working with the Town of St. Armand to secure a state Smart Growth Grant for trail improvements at Mt. Pisgah in the near future, and working with partners to establish a new parking area and trailhead in Keene for the Jack Rabbit ski trail. 

The board and Glenn are working together on plans to finalize a departure date and ensure a smooth transition. The board is establishing a search committee to post the job opening, interview candidates, and bring their top candidate forward to the full board for approval. The aim is to have a new executive director in place by year-end.  

BETA’s mission is to unite and strengthen our Adirondack communities through a diverse and welcoming network of bike and ski trails that bring us outside, together. 

As always, we greatly appreciate the support from our members, and we look forward to continuing to serve our community of trail enthusiasts.  

Sincerely, 
     Bryan Magnus, Co-Chair
