Elvis has entered the building! Former dealership GM Kevin “Elvis” Vaughn has joined ACTION Recruiting as Director of Talent Search, Motorcycle Industry. “Elvis rocks,” says ACTION Recruiting Owner and Managing Director Jan Plessner. “He first hit my radar as the GM of Killer Creek Harley-Davidson in Roswell, Georgia.

Jan has an outstanding reputation, and her vetting processes, exceptional customer service and business model all align with the high levels of how I do business. I’m ready to get to work on behalf of America’s motorcycle industry.” Hiring managers in need of high-performance long- or short-term employees, as well as individuals looking to grow their careers, are encouraged to email Elvis@spACTION.com, call (404) 729-5633 or connect on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/actionelvis/

Heather Wilson has been promoted to Director of Member Activity for the American Motorcyclist Association and charged with managing the new department. “While we remain as committed as ever to our amateur and professional competition responsibilities, we don’t want to lose sight of the trends that inspire non-racers to ride,” explains AMA CEO Rob Dingman. “The recreational riding community represents the greatest number of motorcyclists, by far, in our country, and the Member Activity Department will provide increased focus for serving their needs.” The department will direct recreational engagement elements of AMA-promoted non-competition events and organize AMA Recreational Riding Commissions. “Motorcycling is my passion, and I’m grateful that I get to spend my days working with AMA members, AMA-chartered event organizers and other partners,” says Wilson, who joined the AMA communications staff in 2014. “I am committed to the continued progress of recreational riding, and look forward to providing more training and opportunities for AMA volunteers to spread the AMA mission.” Wilson will report to Chief Operating Officer James Holter. Wilson grew up immersed in motorcycling, her parents established a motorcycle dealership in central Ohio in 1977 and have owned and operated it since. Wilson has a Journalism degree from Ohio University, and prior to joining AMA, Wilson was communications specialist for the Motorcycle Industry Council.
