Henry’s Note

News Flash!! I am running for a 2008-2010 LACBC Board of Director position. What is LACBC? It’s the only membership based grass-roots organization in the LA County that works to make LA County a better cycling environment. I participated as a Board of Director back in 1999, now 9 years later I am reconnecting with the organization.

Please vote for me!! If you are not a member, JOIN NOW!

Top Priorities and Expectations for LACBC This Year:

• Increase membership to 1000+ (currently at 600+)
• Raise additional funding for LACBC (It’s currently in financial crisis mode, how can it operate effectively?)
• Continue to engage and monitor cities to be more bicycle friendly
• Expand bicycle safety education
• Formalize LACBC on-line presence

My Statement (limited to 100 words): The organization and its staff has accomplished very much since I served on the board 7-9 years ago. However, there are still many challenges ahead, including our top two priorities 1) Increase to 1000+ members (670 last counted in November) which gives us strength in numbers and momentum in community; 2) Raise more funds because no great organization can operate without adequate funding. As an avid bicyclist with experience in fundraising, degree in business management, expertise in web technology, and connection to the bicycle industry, I believe I am well qualified to steer and assist the growth of this organization. I will be honored to have your vote to serve on your behalf.

Voting Logistics:

There are currently 9 seats open with 10 persons running. You have to be a current LACBC member (join up now) to vote and you must vote before Noon on March 25. If you are a current member and have not received your ballot, email dorothy@la-bike.org.
