Charles Heatley

Charles serves as the Road Captain for the Widows Sons. The Road Captain is appointed by the President and has several key responsibilities. These include planning rides and collaborating with other members who are also organizing rides, providing assistance as needed. The Road Captain holds overall authority during chapter rides, only deferring to the President or Vice President when necessary.

The Road Captain will lead some rides and closely support any members who take on the role of ride leader. It is his responsibility to ensure that all members and supporters ride safely and in an orderly fashion. Additionally, he will work alongside the Master at Arms regarding ride-related matters.

The Road Captain (and/or the Master at Arms) will maintain communication and a good relationship with any dominant motorcycle clubs (MCs) in areas where the Widows Sons may be riding or staying, including SMCs, CMCs, MMCs, etc.

Before departing, the Road Captain or the designated ride leader must conduct a pre-ride briefing. Ultimately, the Road Captain is accountable for all rides.
