Glenn Hughes Named Chair of Outdoor Recreation Roundtable

The National Marine Manufacturers Association yesterday announced that president and CEO Frank Hugelmeyer concluded his four-year term as chair of the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable, which promotes the growth of the outdoor recreation economy and activities.

Glenn Hughes, president of the American Sportfishing Association, assumes Hugelmeyer’s role.

“Glenn Hughes has been a dedicated partner since ORR’s inception, and there’s no one better-suited to guide the coalition forward,” Hugelmeyer said in a statement. “I look forward to seeing ORR’s impact grow under Glenn’s leadership. I also want to thank Jessica Turner, ORR’s president, whose determination and vision have been instrumental in strengthening the coalition and advancing its mission.”

Hugelmeyer helped found ORR in 2015 as president of the RV Industry Association — in partnership with NMMA, ASA, the Motorcycle Industry Council and others — to create a united voice for the outdoor recreation industry. Since becoming chair in 2021, Hugelmeyer, working with Turner, has guided ORR through an ambitious strategic plan that raised the stature of the coalition and delivered transformative results for $1.2 trillion outdoor recreation economy.
