Dear Ms. Walker,
I would like to recommend John Schnorr to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Donald Kirn as the ORV representative on the Wisconsin Governors State Trail Council.
John's education and employment history emphasize communication skills. His past accomplishments portray experience and success in communicating thoughts and ideas. John excels in communicating with individuals of diverse and different backgrounds.
John's OHV recreation activities include dirt bikes, ATV's, snowmobiles, and Jeepin'. He and my family enjoy all types of motorized recreational activities. As a result of his passion for these types of activities, he has become involved in organizations that support and promote these user groups. John supports many OHV organizations both financially, through volunteering and as serving on their various leadership boards or committees.
John's has been extremely involved with user groups that encourage the safe use of OHV's. In addition, John has taken a leadership role by volunteering his time to work diligently to address access issues. Those efforts include: President of the Legendary Civilian Jeepers, Member of the Board of Directors for the Lake States Resource Alliance (he is also a member of the LSRA Membership and Finance Committees) and Chief Executive Officer for the Wisconsin Off-Highway Vehicle Association. In addition, John is also a Trail Guide for Annual Northwood's Jeep Jamboree in Crandon, Wisconsin.
If appointed to the Wisconsin Governors State Trails Council, I have no doubt that John would work diligently to assure that all user groups are represented. Further, I'm certain that John would work to assure that the State of Wisconsin remains the most beautiful state in the union, while striving to afford the public the greatest in recreational trails and trail systems.
Thank you for your consideration,
