Virginia Bicycling Federation’s annual member meeting is Sunday November 19, 2023 at 7 PM. This meeting features a reportback from the previous year and election of new and returning board directors by the membership.

Login credentials will be sent to the membership later this month – this post serves as a reminder to make sure you are a member in good standing. I speak for the board in appreciation for your support.

We are calling for board nominations, and please direct them (including self-nominations) to Membership Chair Allen Muchnick – allen22204@gmail.com. Want to help us advocate for state-level policies and legislation, share awareness with our state agencies and partners, and raise the profile of bicycling in Virginia? We want your help!

Board expectations:

  • 6-7 board meetings per year, generally every two months
  • Serve on at least one committee, attend those meetings. Usually 2-5 hours a month.
  • Review and vote for VBF budget actions
  • Report on bike/ped developments and opportunities from your region
  • Support Statewide legislative initiatives
We strive to represent the diversity of Virginia. Any help recruiting from these areas would help us represent the full Commonwealth more effectively. Currently, VBF does not have board representation from the the following regions:
  • Fredericksburg
  • Southside
  • Southwest beyond Roanoke/Blacksburg
  • Harrisonburg

Helpful skills for board service:

  • Experience with bike/ped policymaking and implementation
  • Leadership with bike/ped organizing
  • Social media and communications skills (webinars, social media platforms, email software)
  • Nonprofit management (i.e. bylaws, work plans, committee chair experience, and reporting)
Thanks for your help and to the current and previous board leaders for their service.
