Dream Big With ACE
Do you like to dream? Maybe you dream about new coasters to ride, parks to visit or ways to make the world better. I do too! I’ve always been a dreamer. And when I have a dream, I work hard to make it real. But the best part? I get to dream and build right alongside all of you here in ACE. That fills my heart and inspires me every single day.
We’re now halfway through this election term, and I’ve been thinking a lot about the amazing volunteers who make everything at ACE possible. They inspire me because they don’t let tough times stop them. They bring their passion, kindness and “let’s do this” attitude to everything they do.
This summer, I learned about an ACE volunteer who was facing homelessness yet continued to support and show up for ACE. Their dedication and support to the club are inspiring!
Here are just a few other dreams coming true thanks to our volunteers:
- Events Committee: Dan Jones and his team and regional rep committees continue to innovate and problem solve to keep hosting fun events for all of us.
- Operations Committee: Aric Austermann and his team are rolling out our new member platform through Higher Logic. It’s been a big project, but the results are already making it easier to connect. Have you tried the new community feature yet?
- Process Committee: Gaclyn Antar and Jeff Wall worked with leaders across ACE to create our very first standard operating procedures guide. You’ll find it in the Everything ACE community — helping everyone understand how ACE works behind the scenes. Please note that you must first join the community.
Those are just a few of the many ACE volunteers. We could not succeed without each and every volunteer, and we are truly thankful for all they do!
2026 is an election year, so many are completing the projects put in motion this term. As we start preparing for the election, here’s how you can help:
- Stay Connected: Check your member profile and make sure ACE has your current email address. Many couple and family memberships are missing emails. Visit ridewithace.com/members.
- Think About Serving: Ever wondered about trying a new volunteer role? This might be your time! Visit ridewithace.com/volunteer for more information.
Big dreams need big dreamers — and that’s you. Let’s keep dreaming and building ACE together! What is your dream for ACE?
