Re: [Bikies] Don't vote for Bill Hauda for BFW Board

[Marjorie Ward]

Richard Schwinn did in fact inform Bill Hauda of the discussion occurring on Bikies regarding the board election.  It is up to Bill at this point to inform me of any rebuttal statements.  In the meantime, I have received a request to post Bill's self-created election biography to this list:
Bill Hauda: Bill Hauda is the director of Wisconsin�s two major cross-state bicycle tours, GRABAAWR and SAGBRAW. He was a founder of the Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin and its first president. A longtime bicycle commuter, competitive triathlete, marathon runner, and recreational cyclist, he is a life member of the League of American Bicyclists. A journalist by profession, he wrote columns on running and bicycling for United Press International and the Capital Times newspaper of Madison. He currently authors a column on fitness and health for Silent Sports magazine. He is a board member of the Dane County Bicycle Association, a foundation which funds bicycle education and advocacy projects. If elected, this will be the first time since before 1996 that Bill has served on the BFW board and his term would run through Fall 2006.
