He will continue supporting ongoing efforts to obtain federal and state funding for off-highway vehicle recreation.

“We’re excited to have Duane back on our team,” says Erik Pritchard, MIC president and CEO. “He learned a lot at NOHVCC and we will leverage his and our expertise to serve the OHV community at a time when there is a tremendous opportunity to grow and improve access for OHV recreation. Duane will work ably with land managers, clubs, and industry to support responsible recreation on public lands.”
“I am thrilled to return to the Motorcycle Industry Council,” Taylor adds. “Particularly as I will have the opportunity to focus on issues about which I am most passionate – safe and responsible use of OHVs.”
