HUB Cycling 2014 Director Candidates Skills/Experience Needs for 2014 Board: • community/ government network & experience: a priority need in 2014 • volunteer and member engagement: a priority need in 2014 • fundraising experience or skills: a priority need in 2014 • local bicycle advocacy experience: a priority need in 2014 • social enterprise development: a priority need in 2014 • public/ media relations and strategic messaging • communications and marketing • business/ operations management • non-profit governance experience • financial skills or expertise (current Treasurer is standing for re-election) Demographics: • A majority of our current Directors live within the city of Vancouver; we highly encourage candidates from other municipalities within Metro Vancouver for 2014, to balance our perspective within HUB’s Metro-Vancouver reach. • We strive to further diversify the Board through a wide range of ethnicities, ages, genders, and backgrounds, more accurately representing the population of Metro Vancouver. CRAIG STEWART (standing for re-election) City: Vancouver Occupation: Fund development/Communications Brief employment history: • 2013-14: Assisted a person afflicted with MS/various other work • 2011-12: Manager of Community Development, The John Howard Society of the Lower Mainland • 2009-11: Operations Manager, Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden • 2004-05: Manager, Jericho Beach Youth Hostel Other: • HUB Board: Chaired Marketing/Communications Committee; served on Fund Development Task Force and Membership Committee • Volunteered communications work for David Suzuki Foundation for six months • Volunteered on the board of the Or Gallery back in the day, as Treasurer • Involved with the community group the Vancouver Ukulele Circle. I did an undergraduate degree in Fine Art (Painting) at Emily Carr, and a master’s degree in Arts (Media Studies) at Concordia University, which translates into my being able to break down visual and written messages and interpret meaning and intention. From managing a hostel and the daily operations of a world-famous tourist attraction to volunteering for worthy organizations, I want people to have had a memorable time. God knows we all need that. Cycling is such an elemental, basic way to get a sense of independence, mobility, peace of mind and physical health that I can only see it being a good experience for people—ultimately, once we solve all the obstacles in the way of people getting on their bike. Skills: Worked in fund development and communications; managed volunteers and staff; experience with social media and website content; HUB has given me experience in managing controversial messaging. Vision for Cycling: I really want there to be little or nothing in between a person’s desire to get on a bike and their ability to do so. JEANNETTE FROST City: Vancouver Occupation: Mechanical Project Manager. Brief employment history: Responsible for the HVAC, plumbing and fire protection design and construction administration of large new and renovation institutional projects in BC. Other: • President of a Strata Council; • volunteer as a ride ambassador for West Point Cycles; • member of the Southeast False Creek Stewardship Committee (provided input into sustainable community building); • member of PEDAL, HUB and BEST for many years. Skills: Good time and project management skills, great with people especially kids, know a bit of elementary bike mechanics. Hard worker with a good sense of humour. Vision for Cycling: With the rapid growth in population in Metro Vancouver I believe that promoting cycling infrastructure and education is the smartest, healthiest and most economical means of providing a liveable region. From a sustainable perspective it is increasingly important to encourage more commuters to embrace cycling as an affordable, safe and efficient means of transportation. I would like to be part of HUB to continue to make this happen. JEAN-FRANÇOIS CARON City: Vancouver Occupation: Physicist (PhD Student, experimental particle physics) Brief employment history: • Graduate Research Assistant (Experimental Particle Physics: 2009-now and Theoretical Astrophysics: 2006-2009) • Teaching Assistant for Undergraduate Physics Courses (all years) 2006-now Other: • Board Member of the AMS Bike Co-op since 2006. Currently Vice-President (multiple terms), served as President and coordinator of programs. • Councillor for the UBC Graduate Student Society 2006-2009. Sat on internal committees (House & Finance, Executive Oversight). • Assistant coach for Canadian team at International Physics Olympiad, Estonia 2012. • Volunteer contributions to open source software (GNU Scientific Library, ROOT, cling, LLVM) • Interested in post-colonial and feminist politics Skills: management, non-profit governance, organizational development, knowledge of the community, advocacy, HR management; fundraising experience, bicycle advocacy experience, social enterprise development, governance experience; anti-oppressive political training; open communication styles; ability to provide good interviews to the media. Vision for Cycling: In my vision of the sustainable future, cycling is the only important form of private vehicular transportation in urban settings, for able-bodied adults. Cycling satisfies pollution concerns (noise, chemical, and waste), safety concerns (low fatality rates, human- reaction speeds), societal accessibility (low cost, low physical ability barrier) and aesthetics. LUCAS GALLAGHER City: Vancouver Occupation: Community Bike Shop Manager Brief employment history: • The Bike Kitchen (community bike shop on UBC campus that works as a social enterprise to generate profits for the AMS Bike Coop) '07-present: started as a mechanic and became manager in '10. • Our Community Bikes '09-'11: Mechanic and instructor. • After School Bike Club '09-'10: Teacher and ride leader for ages 9-13. Other: Cyclocross racer since '10: Cat2; BC Randonneurs Member since '11; Daily commuter since '06: Everyday (I even ride in snow); Since becoming manager of the Bike Kitchen, annual profits have doubled and staff opportunities have doubled by 50% without raising costs to customers. Skills: extensive knowledge of local cycling community; bike education and advocacy; extensive experience working with volunteers; managing operations at a bike shop. Lucas currently runs the Bike Kitchen at UBC, where he is often referred to as ‘the nice guy’. He has a BFA degree and aspires to be an entrepreneur. Lucas rides a bike as his sole means of transportation, races road and cyclocross, enjoys randonneuring and cycle touring, and is passionate about cycling advocacy. He has taught countless workshops on bike mechanics and is most fulfilled sharing his skills and knowledge with others. His most satisfying role was as Kid’s Bike Club leader, teaching 9-13 year old kids how to safely enjoy cycling in the city. He works daily to reduce barriers to cycling and foster a city that celebrates the bicycle. Vision for Cycling: I love cycling as transportation! I feel that controlling one's own transportation in a low cost (both financially and ecologically) way is personally empowering and creates physical and mental health as a by-product. I feel that cycling is the best transportation option for our society and I wish everyone would use cycling for at least part of their transportation needs. My dream of cycling in Vancouver would be never again hearing anyone say, “Cycling? Isn’t that dangerous?”.

    Propelling Change A Guide to Effective Cycling Advocacy Ward Advocacy Program (WAP) The Ward Advocacy Program is at the heart of the bike union. Its goal is to connect individuals who are motivated to improving cycling infrastructure and offering education in their ward. The vision of the program is to build a movement of grassroots advocacy in local wards which will improve cycling for everyone in the city. The Ward Advocacy Program is meant to engage cyclists, and non-cyclists alike, to support activities that promote the everyday use of bicycles by improving infrastructure, facilities and the public perception of cycling as a valid and vital mode of transportation. Toronto Cyclists Union The Toronto Cyclists Union is a membership-based organization that brings together cyclists from all across Toronto. We are a strong, unified voice advocating the rights of cyclists of all ages and from all parts of the city. We aim to shift the political culture that has resisted the changes that are needed to ensure safe streets for cyclists. We are a vibrant and amplified voice calling for the common goals of safe, legitimate and accessible cycling in Toronto. The bike union coordinates city-wide advocacy on behalf of our members and provide resources for cyclists to be effective advocates themselves by participating in the Ward Advocacy Program. Our commitment to you The bike union and ward groups work together in trust and for mutual benefit to improve cycling conditions across the city. We recognize that to realize our vision of a united, cyclist

    The Vermont Legislative Research Shop

    The Vermont Legislative Research Shop Healthy Communities Background Many lawmakers and organizations are recognizing the connection between public health and community planning. A 1998 study from the Centers for Disease Control reports that approximately 29% of adults in the US are considered “sedentary” and 50% are considered overweight, creating what some consider a formidable health burden (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1998). Many interest groups and professionals agree that physical inactivity can be remedied in part by healthy city planning, but differ on the best way to implement changes. Healthy Residents There are proactive ideas to help community members become more active, most prominent is the push to include walking and/or bicycling into one’s daily routine (Killingsworth 2001). Walking is perhaps the most accessible form of exercise for all people, and studies suggest that it can be beneficial. For instance, in a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, it is reported that “among retired, nonsmoking men, those who walked less than 1.6 km a day had a mortality rate nearly twice that of those who walked more than 3.2 km per day” (Hakim et al, 1998). Bicycling is another popular form of exercise that can allow people to get school and work every day. The League of American Bicyclists reports that about 42 million Americans own bicycles, but many people use them recreationally rather than as a primary form of transportation (Killingsworth 1998). Killingsworth also reports that “in the United States, nearly 25% of all trips are less than 1 mile, but more than 75% these short trips are made by automobile, so it is reasonable to expect that many trips could be made on foot or bicycle” (1998).
