  Registration Deadline
  Fast Approaching
  

  The September 4 deadline for Meeting of the Minds early registration, is fast approaching. If you have not registered, now is the time to do so.

  MRF and ABATE of Kansas member, Tammy Railsback, sums up what the 40th anniversary of the Meeting of the Minds means: “Getting better with age as we embrace our future.”

  And there are times when the future of motorcycling keeps many of us awake. Hence, a panel discussion on “What issues regarding the future of motorcycling keep you awake at night? And the solutions to put the nightmares to rest.”

  Forty years ago, we came together for freedom, unity, and change to help build our SMROs into stronger grassroots motorcyclists’ rights advocacy groups. The 2024 Meeting of the Minds is that first meeting amped up with a super-charged agenda!

  Here is a tentative listing of the workshops:

  • Legislative Strategies
  • First Timers
  • PAC 101 & how they work for motorcyclists' rights
  • Search & Seizure
  • Executive Director's Townhall
  • Team Building
  • Lobbying 101 -- the Fundamentals of Legislative Success
  • MRF Reps Meeting
  • Independent Motorcycle After-market Meeting
  • Sustaining Clubs Meeting
  • SMRO Chapter/Region Duties & Responsibilities
  • • Social Media Hands-on That Works
    • Life on Gilligan’s Island: Recruiting, inspiring & retaining your SMRO’s cast of characters
    • Fundamentals of Being an MRF State Rep
    • Leadership Principals
    • MRF A&E
    • Policy Engage Overview -- Making it Work for You

    And the workshops are only half of the show! Along with the panel discussion led by a hand-picked selection of motorcyclists’ rights and motorcycle industry influencers, there are General Session presentations with updates from Washington, D.C., SMRO updates, and even a look back to "Where it all Began."

    As MRF President, Kirk “Hardtail” Willard puts it, "MRF Total Vigilance on The Hill depends on all of us."

    Those of us who were at the first Meeting of the Minds may not have had a vision of forty years down the road. However, we may have realized that the future of motorcycling depends on what we are doing now. The MRF brings you the Meeting of the Minds because the future of motorcycling depends on what we do today.  See you in St. Louis at the 40th Annual Meeting of the Minds!
