Utah CVMA ® 49-4

MEMBERSHIP CRITERIA
 

Thank you for your interest in joining the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association. First, it should be known that we are NOT a motorcycle club (M/C) and we have no desire to become one. We are a VETERANS ASSOCIATION that happens to enjoy riding motorcycles, and ride we do! We ride not only to support our group but to assist other organizations supporting veteran’s issues.  

If you are here for the sole reason of supporting veterans then this is your association! We are looking for active participants in supporting veteran’s issues, not patch hunters that do not believe in our mission, “Vets Helping Vets”. Please take time to read the CVMA By-Laws.
