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

Yesterday, our Georgia interns enjoyed a Golf Car product day at the picturesque Pinetree Country Club in Kennesaw, Georgia. They experienced firsthand the performance and customer-focused design of our Drive 2 Electric Golf Cars, highlighting Yamaha's forward-thinking innovation. After test-driving our Golf Cars, the interns received putting, chipping, and driving lessons from the Pinetree Country Club Golf Professionals, deepening their understanding of the game of golf and Yamaha Golf Car's position in the golf industry. We concluded the product day with a fireside chat with Mark Blankers, Yamaha's Golf Car Research and Development Division Manager.

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
