Pickerington, OH (February 21, 2024) — For the past 100 years, the American Motorcyclist Association has been at the forefront of providing riders with the opportunity to enjoy our excellent sport through recreational endeavors. As we strive to continue that goal into our next 100 years, the AMA is pleased to announce the 2024 Road and Off-Road Recreational Riding Commissions. The two commissions will continue to serve as volunteer bodies that work to enhance and promote AMA-sanctioned recreational riding events.
“The AMA was formed 100 years ago to give riders something to do with their motorcycles, including a variety of recreational riding activities,” said AMA President and CEO Rob Dingman. “The 2024 Recreational Riding Commissions will play a critical role in helping the AMA increase and improve recreational riding opportunities as we work towards cultivating a stronger recreational riding structure for the next 100 years.”
The 2024 AMA Recreational Riding Commissions were chosen from a large pool of highly qualified AMA members who have prior experience working with the AMA or local motorcycle clubs and events. Each appointee will serve a one-year term, beginning February 2024, and will work to help strengthen the AMA’s recreational riding pursuits.
