Wood takes over at Motorcycle Hall

From the American Motorcyclist Association

PICKERINGTON, OH -- The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) announced Wednesday that Katy Wood has been named the Operations Manager for the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum. Wood will be responsible for managing the museum's vast motorcycle, literature and memorabilia collections and ensuring care of all loaned objects. Wood will also oversee museum staff, volunteers, and the on-line store and gift shop.

"Katy Wood brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this position, and I am pleased that we will be able to better leverage her background in this new role," said Rob Dingman, AMA president and CEO. "Katy will prove to be invaluable as the AMA invests more resources to showcase our Motorcycle Hall of Fame and the legendary personalities who have contributed so much to the legacy of motorcycling in America."

Wood was hired by the AMA in 2000 as the museum management assistant. In that role she was the museum's registrar responsible for documenting all loaned and donated items, as well as coordinating the logistics of shipping loaned items to and from the museum. She managed the annual Hall of Fame nomination, voting and induction process, including the yearly gala event; planned museum events and arranged for outside groups renting the facility; and assisted outside researchers and the media with various projects including magazine articles, film and television programs, and photography.
