Tucker Rocky Sets Date For Debbie Bell Memorial

Tucker Rocky recently announced the passing of long-time employee Debbie Bell. In its statement, the company said that many in the industry had the pleasure and honor of meeting Debbie and have benefited from her talent, skill and leadership.

TR’s Rick Dorfmeyer said of her passing, "A very bright light in Tucker Rocky’s history has gone out. All you can figure is that God had a mighty big problem to solve. So he did like most of us at TR have done. He called Debbie Bell. Godspeed, Debbie."

Debbie began her career as an administrative assistant in Kansas City and worked her way to vice president of customer service and inside sales over the course of her 21 years with Tucker Rocky.

Tucker Rocky will hold a memorial service to celebrate the life of Debbie Bell on October 7, 2011 from 4-7 pm at Circle R Ranch, 5901 Cross Timbers Road, Flower Mound, Texas. For more information, visit www.circlerranch.org.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in Debbie’s name to the Malcolm Smith Motorsports Foundation.

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.
