Thanks Robbie & Matt for posting this info. Yes, the board is currently seeking applications for board members. We're in the process of revamping our ballots, so I believe all interested candidates should appear on the ballot, w/5 being officially nominated. All applicants/candidates will, or should expect to, be interviewed by the Nominating Committee. I'd urge anyone interested in the future of the BFW to apply & yes, we're a "working board," so be expected to spend a little time & effort, if elected. Aaron Crandall

To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, September 3, 2008, 12:21 PM Hi, all! I'm out in Seattle for the Pro-Bike/Pro-Walk meeting and the Thunderhead Retreat, and had a chance to chat with Jack Hirt about the Board. Yes, please apply if you are interested in working with Bike Fed. As always, there is always a ton of potential talent in Madison. If you happen to know anyone who lives in another part of the state, that would also be great, because Bike Fed also needs to have contacts and work done in LaCrosse, Eau Claire, Green Bay, Marinette, Wausau, Dodgeville, etc. More than anything, please apply or recommend that others apply if you or the other person is willing to put in one of the Three Ws: Work, Wealth, or Wisdom: Work: Willingness to work on developing new programs, ideas about programs and funding sources for programs, background in past advocacy that you want to put to work, interest in implementing a program, etc. Wealth: Fund raising experience - or even willingness to ask for money, contacts with people who can be donors, knowledge of how to find donors, etc. is always welcome. Wisdom: Skills like strategic planning, accounting, legal, lobbying, education, etc. The sentence about being a WORKING BOARD is very important. Bike Fed is looking for people to work for the organization. So if you are interested, or know someone else, please submit an application.
