Recruitment Tools
BRI provides members with several recruitment tools to help your outreach efforts to potential Freshpersons.
Either self-nomination or nomination by a current Ridger achieves acceptance to BRI. If you wish to nominate someone, have them go to the Join BRI page and complete the BRI Recruitment Application. Free applications open each year in January and close in June.
The Recruitment Committee must review and approve all nominations before acceptance to the Facebook group or BRI conference registration.
If you have questions about BRI Recruitment, contact the Recruitment Chair, LeKesha Benson, or Executive Director, Allison Gant.
