WAYNE BRISKE APPOINTED CHAIRMAN OF THE
FLORIDA OHV ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Briske feels quite
prepared for the job ahead after several
years of attending the NOHVCC Annual
Conferences. "I learned a lot about how
they run similar programs successfully
in other states by attending the
conferences," says Wayne. "It's very
exciting for me to see the state taking
such an active role in establishing new
OHV recreation areas. We have been
struggling to keep areas from closing,
as well as opening up new ones for many
years and now that the state recognizes
the need to give OHV riders places to
recreate, I feel our job will be made
easier with this committee in place." Read More>>

OHVers WELL SERVED BY THE IOWA OHV
ASSOCIATION
Iowa is renowned for its farms among
other things. It is not surprising to
find that many farmers rely on their
off-highway vehicles (OHV) to assist
them in running their farms. It is also
not surprising that when residents of
Iowa want to take a break from work, it
is their OHV that assists in recreation.
So, does the state of Iowa have a viable
OHV association? You bet it does! Go to
the IOHVA website>>
