Board members fulfill the important duty of governing the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition. Many skill sets contribute to ensuring a strong board. Priorities for this upcoming year have been identified and outlined here.
Questions on the process can be directed to boardnomination@sfbike.org. Interested members are encouraged to attend the next meeting of the board of directors on Tuesday, Aug. 30 at 6:30 pm.
Note: Per the SF Bicycle Coalition’s bylaws, any member in good standing by the Nov. 4 deadline may nominate themselves or another member to run for the board. The questionnaire has been developed to give members more information about candidates as well as to provide candidates an additional channel to communicate with members, but are not requirements.
