Our Board of Directors
Bike Works is supported by a dedicated and inspirational Board of Directors. Their commitment ensures that Bike Works continues to accomplish all that we stand for, as we teach young people how to fix bikes, reward them with their own set of wheels, and provide affordable bicycle services to the community.
Bike Works Board of Directors is responsible for the formation and evaluation of all policies and programs of Bike Works to ensure that the mission, vision, fiscal management, and policies will be relevant and meaningful to those served by the organization.
Their expertise and focus during their board service ranges from community outreach to fund development, from ensuring financial stability to marketing our successes, from setting new goals to providing stewardship of our mission.
