Want to get something done? Give it to the busiest person in the room! With that in mind, the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable has elected MIC President and CEO Christy LaCurelle as Vice Chair of its Board of Directors, reinforcing the powersports industry’s role in shaping the future of outdoor recreation. For the record, LaCurelle already leads the Motorcycle Safety Foundation, Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle Association, and Specialty Vehicle Institute of America. These associations represent the $51 billion powersports industry through advocacy work, research, education and safety programs, and public outreach.
“It’s a privilege to serve as Vice Chair of the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable Board of Directors, and I am grateful to be elected to the role,” LaCurelle said. “The outdoor recreation industry has shown that it can achieve great things when we work together, and I’m excited to work with Glenn Hughes, the board, ORR President Jessica Turner, and the ORR staff to strengthen our coalition, help grow the outdoor recreation industry, and make public lands and waters more accessible and more enjoyable for all Americans.”
“Christy’s expertise will strengthen our impact in advancing outdoor access and growing the outdoor recreation economy for the benefit of all Americans – especially in rural communities,” added Turner.
LaCurelle joins newly elected Chair Glenn Hughes, President and CEO of the American Sportfishing Association, and new Board Member Fred Ferguson, President and CEO of the American Bus Association. ORR is a coalition representing the $1.2 trillion outdoor recreation economy, uniting dozens of national associations working to expand access to public lands and waters and to grow outdoor participation.
