AMCA Hires an Executive Director
DECEMBER 2, 2013
The AMCA is pleased to announce the selection of John J. Cerilli of Scottsdale, Arizona, to fill the new position of Executive Director. The AMCA, founded in 1954, is an association of enthusiasts focused on antique motorcycles 35
years old or older. Next year marks the AMCA’s
60th anniversary, and during those 60 years, it has grown from a small regional club to an international organization with more than 10,000 members.
Until now, the Club’s management has been
exclusively in the hands of a volunteer Board of Directors. But with the hiring of an Executive Director, the AMCA is taking the next step in its expansion, bringing in a full-time manager focused on membership service and long-term growth. Cerilli previously worked as a sales/marketing/business development executive in the semiconductor industry for more than 35 years. His hobby and passion, however, has always been motorcycles, both modern and vintage, and he has owned more than 30 bikes in his 45 years of riding.
 “We are pleased to have John on board in this new position,” said AMCA Board President Rich
ard
Spagnolli. “The hiring of an Executive Director is a
major step that the Board has considered for the
past several years. And it’s only fitting that we
take this step as the Club celebrates its 60th anniversary. We look forward to John working with the Membership to continue the well-established and long- enduring culture of the
AMCA.” 
 
 “I am deeply honored to accept this position and I feel this new role is a natural for me,” noted Cerilli. “I have been involved with motorcycles for
more than four decades, and I have been running a website focused on vintage machines for several years. I sincerely look forward to helping in the growth of the largest antique-motorcycle
organization in the United States.” 
 Cerilli will start his new duties on January 1.

By Richard Spagnolli
Dear Members, With Thanksgiving behind us and the Christmas holidays approaching faster than we realize, I think of all those Members from warmer climates who are still riding their old bikes while those of us
up North are hoping for one last “warm” spell
so we can get another ride before the season comes to an end. I'm just a bit jealous, but I guess it gives us more time to work on those winter projects. At least that is what I tell myself! As reported here, the AMCA took an historic step when it hired John Cerilli as the Club's first Executive Director. John will perform all the duties described in the published job description and others that arise as time goes by. This is a full-time position with an emphasis on extending the reach of the AMCA both demographically and to owners of motorcycle brands not traditionally associated with the Club. John will manage the day-to-day operations of the Club, while the Board, which had this responsibility in the past, will be more involved with strategic planning and oversight. Our current Operations Manager, Bill Wood, performed some of these tasks, but will leave this post on December 31 when John will take over the reins. Bill will devote full time to editing the coming six issues of the magazine. As reported, the publication of six issues per year was explored and found to be financially feasible. Thanks to Bill Wood, Greg Harrison and Denny Thrush at DGB Communications for making this possible. The Board is proud to offer this additional benefit to the Membership. And a special thanks to Paul Holdsworth, Advertising Manager, for working with our advertisers to make the six issues a reality. Of course, we also thank the advertisers for their confidence in the publication of the magazine six times a year. I would like to briefly explain the process that resulted in John Cerilli becoming the Club's first Executive Director. The idea of an Executive Director for the Club arose several years ago when it became clear that running the day-to-day operations with volunteers from the Board and Membership was not the most efficient system.
