In order to better support its growing dealer membership base, the National Powersports Dealer Association (NPDA) conducted a special election to expand its board of directors. As NPDA membership increased past 400 members, the bylaws called for more dealer representation, so new officers were installed at the first board meeting of the 2026 calendar year. In addition to new officers, NPDA welcomed Elway Powersports Group CEO Michael Maledon to the Board, and following a special election, Bob Eggstein, dealer principal of Keystone Harley-Davidson in Whitehall, PA, was added to the association’s leadership team.
“Bob is a great operator and a man of character,” notes newly elected Vice Chair Jay Goodart, who has seen his fellow dealer principal in action for the past 15 years as well as being an active participant in the NPDA’s Harley-Davidson Dealer Council since its beginning. “He will be a great asset for advancing our fellow dealers.”
“I believe strongly that we have both an opportunity and an obligation: to ensure our businesses remain sustainable, to support the employees and customers who depend on us, and to work together as dealers to protect and strengthen the industry we’ve all helped build,” Eggstein adds.
“My professional journey has allowed me to experience both the corporate and dealership sides of the powersports industry. I spent 25 years in commercial banking, working with Fortune 500 companies to manage their cash and lending needs. Fifteen years ago, I followed my passion for motorcycles by purchasing and operating a Harley-Davidson dealership, which I continue to run today.”
Eggstein believes his background will enable NPDA to better serve dealers. “With a big-picture perspective, a strong banking background, and more than a decade of dealership experience, I am dedicated to helping our dealer community thrive and shaping a sustainable future for powersports.”
“Join NPDA’s executive committee in welcoming Bob on board,” concludes Goodart. “We are better together.”
