GSMBC & CASI-ACMS Collaborate to Advance Year-Round Coach & Instructor Development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Global Syndicate of Mountain Bike Coaches (GSMBC<\/a>) and CASI-ACMS are proud to announce a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), effective August 25, 2025. This collaboration represents a significant step toward supporting multi-sport instructors and coaches through cross-disciplinary professional development, knowledge sharing, and enhanced member benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new partnership is another positive step forward as we continue to work towards the goals within our current Strategic Plan<\/a>. Specifically, under Trail 3: Enhancing Industry Relations & Development<\/em>, working with GSMBC in a formal capacity will aid in elevating professional advocacy and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shared Vision<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Both organizations are united by a commitment to raising the global standard in instructor and coach education. By working together, GSMBC and CASI-ACMS will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Encourage instructors and coaches to expand their professional development across both summer and winter sports.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Share technical, strategic, and educational expertise to strengthen course delivery and engagement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Promote a culture of collaboration to benefit the broader coaching and instructing community.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to join forces with CASI-ACMS. Together, we\u2019re building pathways for instructors to grow their skills across both seasons and raise the bar for coach education worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Member Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    One of the most exciting aspects of the MOU is the reciprocal membership discounts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • For CASI members: 15% off all GSMBC in-person courses + 20% off GSMBC online education courses<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • For GSMBC members: 15% off CASI in-person courses + 20% off CASI yearly membership dues<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      These benefits make it easier than ever for dedicated instructors to stay active and connected across multiple disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Collaboration in Action<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      In addition to discounts, both organizations have committed to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Coordinated promotional efforts through newsletters, websites, and social media<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Sharing innovations and content development opportunities<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Meeting twice annually to evaluate progress and plan new initiatives<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n
