PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- American Motorcyclist Association President and CEO Rob
Dingman has commenced his four-year term as president of the Continental Union of the
Fédération International de Motocyclisme that represents North America.
In addition, Dingman has accepted multiple leadership positions within FIM
governance, including serving as chairman of the finance committee of the FIM Board of
Directors, as the elected representative to the FIM Board for all FIM Continental Unions,

In these roles, Dingman will work directly with FIM President Jorge Viegas, who was
elected at the FIM Annual General Assembly in Andorra on Dec. 1.
“It is my honor to contribute on behalf of the AMA to the work of the FIM Board of
Directors,” Dingman said. “All American motorcyclists can rest assured that I will strongly
represent the U.S. and North American perspectives on the world stage.”
