AMADOR STEPS DOWN FROM AMA D36 GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS
POSITION
This is to inform
my OHV family that after careful thought and deliberation I resigned from my position as the LAO
Government Affairs Director for AMA District 36, effective September 1, 2023 to
review other opportunities to represent sustainable OHV recreation in the
legislative and policy arenas.
In my resignation letter to the D36 Board, I thanked them
for the opportunities over the last 3+ years to advocate on behalf of AMA
District 36 clubs and members for responsible OHV recreation before local and
state government officials, legislators, regulators, Governor’s office, State
Parks, OHMVR Commission, Congress, environmental/conservation groups, timber
industry, law enforcement, and federal land agencies.
I also stated that I was grateful for the opportunity to
work with our lobbyist, Terry McHale on numerous legislation and policy issues
that directly impact camping/staging, casual riding, and competition events. And, that I wish AMA District 36 all the best.
In the meantime, I will continue to champion managed OHV
education through the various education, safety, and training programs at QWR, remain
engaged in the FireScape Mendocino
collaborative, help PWORA build capacity with post-fire recovery projects, and
support local communities during active wildfires by being an on-call emergency
driver for the North Zone Fire Cache.
Happy Trails,
Don
