Honda's Robert Heilbron Joins MSF Board of Trustees

Robert Heilbron, lead administrator, Honda Rider Education, is the newest member of the MSF Board of Trustees.

“I am delighted with my appointment to the MSF 2020 Board of Trustees by American Honda Motor Co., Inc.,” Heilbron said. “It will be my privilege to serve with the other board members, and to advance motorcycle safety for all riders across the country.”

The MSF is currently at work on expanding online course offerings, exploring opportunities in emerging markets, and updating the RiderCourse catalog, as demand for RiderCourses and online information remains strong. The MSF continues to serve the training community with new methods for professional development and online certification options.

“The MSF staff remains grateful for the support of each member company and the guidance provided by the trustees,” said Robert Gladden, MSF vice president of training operations. “As we begin to wrap up this challenging year, we look forward to hitting the ground running in January and maintaining our momentum into 2021.”

The boards of the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC), Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF), Specialty Vehicle Institute of America (SVIA), and the Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle Association (ROHVA) voted unanimously to appoint Scott Schloegel as acting president and CEO of the associations. Diana Sanchez was appointed acting chief operating officer.

Schloegel and Sanchez, whose appointments are effective immediately, will also continue to serve in their current roles as senior vice president of government relations and vice president of operations respectively. The interim leadership was selected to ensure a seamless transition as the associations’ search committee continues to conduct a comprehensive review of the position of president and CEO, and a subsequent search to replace outgoing President and CEO Erik Pritchard.
