FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
MMA ELECTS NEW DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors for the Massachusetts Motorcycle Association met at their regularly scheduled monthly board meeting on Wednesday October 1, 2008. This was also the scheduled Annual meeting for the MMA. The purpose of the meeting was to conduct the regular business of the MMA and to elect board members to positions on the board.
This year there were three positions that needed to be filled and voted on by the members of the board. Two vacancies were as a result of incumbents not seeking another term and one position has been vacant for some time now. The three positions, up for election were that of Chairman, Director of Government Relations, and District Two Manager.
The results of the elections are as follows:
Dave Condon of Salem, MA and most recently the District One Manager has been elected to a three year term as the Chairman. Rick Gleason of South Dennis MA a long time supporter and Life Member of the MMA has been elected to a 3 year term as the District Two Manager. The other open position of Director of Government Relations will remain open and the board will seek a candidate as no qualified members of the MMA chose to seek this position. A board vote followed the elections and Richard Schofield of Bedford, MA was elected to the position of District One Manager, the position vacated by Condon.
Condon stated “The MMA Board of Directors would like to recognize the two long serving, and dedicated Board Members that did not seek reelection this year: Kevin Griffin (Chairman) of Plymouth, MA and Paul Cote (Director of Government Relations) of Amesbury, MA. Both served with distinction, dedication, and had tireless efforts for the motorcyclists of the State of Massachusetts and their service will be greatly missed. We wish them the best of luck in all their future endeavors and it is our hope they remain as active members of the association.”
