The New England Bicycle Racing Association is introducing the NEBRA Commissaire Incentive Program (CIP). The CIP is aimed to recruit and retain new Commissaires to help grow the grassroots level officiating and reduce the burden put on event organizer by the diminishing number of Commissaire in the area.
NEBRA’s CIP will extend USAC’s currentl program that cover’s the first-year Commissaire license for any club from one year to 3 total years. NEBRA will reimburse the Commissaire license fee for newly recruited C level Commissaires after their first year of officiating. The requirements for this are:
Commissaire must be based in a New England state
Commissaire must work 3 or more USAC Sanctioned races per year; with at least one race being a non-club race*
Commissaire must submit receipt for official license purchase
*NEBRA will consider special exceptions for Commissaires who don’t meet the non-club race requirement if they go above and beyond with the number of club events they support. We want as many active Commissaires as possible.
