Ron Luning
Arnold, MD.
Ron is a lifelong motorcyclist and a longtime AMA member with experience ranging from off-road trail riding to paved road course circuits and everything in between. He is looking to leverage his experience managing and leading teams as a Navy Officer and civilian in the Department of Defense to contribute to the AMA mission.
Ron believes he would bring a fresh perspective to the AMA Board that would help him analyze issues with a clean slate. Ron feels the important issues facing the AMA today include the need to engage with youth to foster future generations of motorcyclists, motorcycle inclusion in advancing transportation methods, and land access. Regarding the Northeast Region, Ron is focused on the benefits that lane-sharing laws would provide for road riders in the region. For off-road riders, he is focused on land access protections and enhancements for both public and private lands.
