Jeff Miller

Jeff Miller - Makin Award 2023

We are pleased to announce that Jeff Miller is the recipient of the 2023 David Makin Award.

The award recognizes Jeff as the member making an outstanding contribution towards fulfillment of club aims. In so doing, he substantially added to the enjoyment, skill sets and safety of us all.

 

Jeff has excelled in every club role he has filled. As Ride Captain, he ensured that members at all levels of skill and experience could participate in club rides safely and enjoyably.

As ART School Head Coach he continues to innovate, adopting the latest training techniques and BMW engineering to keep the experience fresh and appealing. The event is always sold out.

Jeff is a willing volunteer: as a Dawn Ride team captain he has inspired club-wide charitable support for Ovarian Cancer research.

As Webmaster since 2018, Jeff assumed responsibility for putting us online, setting up the new system to improve membership management and intra-club communications.

He is a true ambassador for the BMW brand and for our club.

 

Keeping up with Jeff-in-a-hurry on a twisty road, even with Marcie aboard, is no easy task but picking this year's David Makin Award winner certainly was.
