2025 Cycling BC Board of Directors: Call for Nominations

Make an Impact in Cycling: Join Our Board

The Cycling BC Board of Directors is made up of individuals passionate about cycling and will have four board seats open for election in 2025.

Board members are essential in guiding Cycling BC’s direction to align with its strategic goals and mission. As Cycling BC begins to take a new strategic direction and redefines its organizational vision, mission, and values while developing a strategic plan in 2025, the Board will be pivotal in shaping the future of the organization.

Board members work with the Executive Director to keep the organization aligned with its goals by providing guidance, direction, and oversight. They collaborate with their fellow board members and contribute their expertise and knowledge to ensure the organization’s overall success.
