As our summer internship program comes to a close, we want to highlight one of its cornerstones: our Executive Fireside Chats. These private, one-on-one meetings with our executives offer a unique opportunity for interns to learn about their professional backgrounds and journeys at Yamaha Motor. Executives share career advice, provide professional guidance, and answer interns' questions about their career paths at Yamaha Motor.   This invaluable experience gives interns direct access to our leadership, allowing them to gain insights and receive feedback that can help shape their professional futures.   We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our Executive Team for dedicating their time to this program. We also deeply appreciate the coordination staff whose efforts made the Executive Fireside Chats possible. Thank you for your commitment and hard work!   #Yamaha #Yamahamotor #LifeAtYamaha #leadership #firesidechats #Interns #ProfessionalDevelopment #Internship

Recently, our Yamaha U.S. Marine Business Unit donated two Yamaha WaveRunners to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) to enhance the enforcement of the Weeki Wachee Springs Protection Zone. In July of 2023, FWC Commissioners approved the Springs Protection Zone, which prohibits beaching, mooring, anchoring, and grounding of vessels on the spring run of the Weeki Wachee River extending from the spring boil within Weeki Wachee State Park to the Rogers Park Boat Ramp. “Together with our partners in Hernando County we are working to ensure the beauty of the Weeki Wachee River is protected and preserved for the continued enjoyment of future generations,” said Maj. Evan Laskowski, Southwest Regional Commander. “The PWCs allow our officers to patrol more efficiently within the confines of the river and spring run, and we are very appreciative of Yamaha for providing us with these valuable tools.” The Springs Protection Zone is designed to protect the ecology of the river and does not limit public access to the spring, regulating only vessel activity. Visitors are allowed to swim, snorkel, and float on a raft or tube, and encouraged to use best practices to help protect the river such as avoiding trampling vegetation, climbing on banks or trees, or discarding litter. “Yamaha WaveRunner® personal watercraft are the ideal choice for the FWC team due to their reputable reliability, shallow draft, and striking appearance,” said Leslie Zlotnick, Marketing Division Manager, Yamaha WaterCraft Group. “Yamaha is happy to protect and participate in the continuing preservation of the beauty of the Weeki Wachee River.” #yamaha #yamahamotor #fwc #florida #waverunner #conservation

On this product day, our Motorsport team guided the interns through an immersive learning experience, showcasing the features and capabilities of our Side-by-Sides. This hands-on experience allows our interns to gain valuable insights and practical knowledge about our products. The highlight of the day was a curated off-road trail ride experience, where the interns had the chance to operate our Side-by-Side firsthand. This real-world experience was both thrilling and educational, offering a unique perspective on the performance and versatility of our vehicles. To top it all off, the interns enjoyed a fireside chat with Mike Martinez, President of Yamaha Motorsport. This small group setting provided a fantastic opportunity for the interns to engage in meaningful discussions, ask questions, and learn about the inner workings of the Yamaha Motorsport business unit. A Huge thank you to the Yamaha Motorsports team for their dedication and coordination in making this product day an unforgettable learning experience. And a special shout-out to Iron Mountain Resort for being such gracious hosts with their time and world-class facility. #yamaha #yamahamotor #wolverine #sidebyside #interns #offroading
