Email: lohofficer@sunshinecoasthog.com.au

• Encourages women members to take an active part in the chapter.
• Answers questions about the Ladies of Harley program.
• Informs members of LOH benefits and activities.

Remember: Ladies of Harley is another benefit of membership, not a separate
organisation within H.O.G. or local chapters. Ladies of Harley was established
to help women become more active members of H.O.G. and their existing local
chapter. You cannot open a separate Ladies of Harley chapter nor offer activities
exclusive to LOH members. You can, of course, organise events that may be more
appealing to the LOH members, but all members must be welcome.
Suggestion: More women than ever before are enjoying the sport of motorcycling.
With your help, Ladies of Harley will continue to serve members’ needs in the
future. Remember, many times, people who are not familiar with motorcycling may
not feel comfortable attending meetings. Form a “welcoming committee” for new
members to make them feel right at home.
