We elect a board each year in November at our AGM. We are always looking for new board members who are interested in fundraising, outreach, policy development or governance of small non-profits. No board experience is required, and students are encouraged to run. If you are interested in being involved, check out this board primer and contact our Executive Director at bikechainuoft@gmail.com to be matched with a current board member who can speak with you about their experiences on the board.
