To better reflect the market and better serve its industry constituents, the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC) has welcomed three new directors to its board. The board also formally re-elected the officers who were selected in the December special election held after the previous chairman, Paul Vitrano, stepped down. Chuck Boderman of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. was re-elected chairman of the board; Kawasaki's Bill Jenkin as vice chairman; and Jim Woodruff of National Powersport Auctions was re-elected as treasurer/secretary.
"The MIC board reflects the financial investments made by the 10 largest OEM members and adds new voices to our discussions about current challenges and the industry's future," notes Boderman. "We will continue to support the growth of the powersports industry and its expanding landscape. I welcome the new directors and I look forward to working on behalf of the entire powersports industry."
