Saturday November 16, 2024, Marcel Vallée, the president of the Circle of Youth Sports and Community Engagement Medalists, awarded a bronze medal to Mickaël Rouzière, in recognition of his thirty years of volunteering in the field of Cycling.
We reward volunteers for their community commitment. It takes six years of minimum commitment to obtain the bronze medal, followed by an additional four years to reach silver and another five years for gold, for a total of 15 years. Regardless of the number of years of volunteering, we always start by offering bronze. Although Mickaël already deserves gold, he must, like all recipients, climb the ranks.
