Annual board elections for the Bike Fed are open until 5 PM on Tuesday, Nov 22. Since it's a bit tough to find the link to vote, here it is:
http://board.wisconsinbikefed.org/ This is your chance to influence who is shaping the policies of the statewide bike organization. I hope everyone will take this opportunity to vote. If you are a member, you can access the ballot with the email associated with your membership. If you aren't yet a member, you can join and then vote. There are short statements/bios for each candidate to help you decide. I am not running for reelection, but there are many good candidates. One contacted me recently and asked for my support and endorsement, so I'm going to give it here: Sydney Prusak is studying Urban and Regional Planning with a friend of mine and has a lot of experience that I think will make her an excellent addition to the board. As a woman based in Madison I think she will advocate for many of the same things that I have tried to do. She is very passionate about getting more women involved in biking and addressing their concerns. She interned at the Active Transportation alliance in Chicago and has studied at the University of Copenhagen, so she has seen what forward-thinking cities in both a U.S. and Europe have been able to achieve. As I said, there are many great candidates. I voted for increased gender and geographic balance on the board and people with deep roots in advocacy, environmental causes, and working directly with communities (either demographic or geographic/political.) Please take the time to read the bios and vote. Board elections in the past have been won by one or two votes!
