About COG - Northeast Area
The "COG Northeast Area" is made up of 13 States and 6 Canadian Provinces. The Northeast Area is headed up by Director
Steven Smith of Connecticut, affectionately known as our NEAD. Steve also hosts a Northeast Area web site which provides
Club information on the entire Northeast Area. For more information on other Regional Areas within COG Northeast, visit Steve's

About - COG Massachusetts......and more!
State Directors are not elected Club Officials, like the Area Directors, and other members of the Executive Board. State
Directors or Assistant Area Directors (AAD's), as we are called, are volunteers whose duties are to assist the elected Area
Directors in all of their duties, as well as manage the Club membership and activities within our volunteer areas.
I volunteered to be the Massachusetts Assistant Area Director (AAD) in 2002. In the Fall of 2005, the previous AAD for
the State of NH resigned his post. To ensure Club representation throughout the remaining New England States, I volunteered
to assume the role of State Director for the States of; Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, as well as continue to be the State
Director for Massachusetts.
As you know, New England is made up of ( 6 ) States, so the States of Connecticut and Rhode Island will remain under the
supervision of their existing AADs.
I live in Massachusetts, in a small town about 30 miles north of Boston, called Dracut, and I've been a member of the
Concours Owners Group since 1988, and have owned a number of Kawasaki Concours motorcycles since my first in 1987. I first
started riding motorcycles at age 18, back in 1973. Currently, I own a midnight blue, 2004 Concours.
As COG AAD, I host rides, rallies, and other club activities throughout the entire year. State membership for Massachusetts
fluxuates somewhat, but is typically between 60 - 70 members at any one time. Membership is somewhat less in the other three
Northern New England States, that I'm now responsible for.
If your interested in joining COG and live in one of the four Nothern New England States that I'm responsible for, contact
me - I'd be happy to sign you up!
Hope you enjoy my web site!
Regards;
Kevin Martin - AAD
