Motorcycle Riders Foundation, Inc. Board of Directors Update
The Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) Board of Directors met in Kansas
City last month. Two new members to the Board of Directors were welcomed.
The first was Joel Arnoldi from Idaho. Joel was elected by the general
membership to serve as Member Representative to the Board. He will serve
along with Cindy Hodges. He was recognized at the 2007 Meeting of the
Minds as the MRF State Representative of the Year.
Second was Thomas "Doc Ski" Wasileski, PhD, from North Carolina. "Doc
Ski" was elected by the Sustaining State Motorcyclists' Rights
Organizations (SSMROs) as the SSMRO Representative to the Board. "Doc
Ski" will be serving along with Dave Dwyer. "Doc Ski" also serves as
CBA/ABATE of NC’s Legislative Director and has been a frequent presenter
at motorcycle conferences around the country. "Doc Ski" was also
appointed as Chairman of the MRF's Statistics and Research Committee.
The Board received and accepted a resignation from Miles France, who held
the position of Director of the State Representatives Program. Miles
cited ongoing health issues as the reason behind his tough decision.
Miles was known as the MRF's original "Robo Rep" for his unique ability in
getting new members to join the MRF. He was twice awarded the MRF
President's Cup award for merit, as well as serving in the capacity of
Director of Membership and MRF State Representative to the Board.
Todd Riba, who was serving as an MRF State Representative to the Board,
was unanimously elected by the Board to replace Miles as the Director of
the State Representatives program. His replacement will be elected by the
MRF State Representatives at this year's Meeting of the Minds in Denver.
Todd also serves Minnesota as an MRF State Rep.
Lastly, Eric Hampton, from Arizona, who serves as the Director of
Communications and the MRF Reports Editor resigned his appointed position
as the MRF Webmaster. A replacement is currently being sought. In the
meantime, the MRF Communications Committee will be overseeing the website.
