My campaign for LAB Regional Director |
Except for this short added comment (inside the box), this is the home page from my 2003 campaign for Region 1 Director of the League of American Bicyclists. I am keeping the campaign pages online, with introductory comments, for the information of League members. |
My platform...why am I running?I want to help get the League's advocacy efforts and services back on track with its members' interests and concerns. A pop-up ad on the League's Web site provides a good example of the League's problems What should League members get in return for dues?1) The League needs to be responsive to its members. Particularly, the League's advocacy vision needs to reflect members' concerns rather than losing its voice in a coalition with overlapping -- but not identical -- interests. 2) The League has dropped support for the volunteer network which used to multiply the League's reach and influence by many times. The League needs to restore outreach to members and support for volunteers. About the Bike-Ed ProgramI have been an Effective Cycling Instructor/ League Cycling Instructor since 1982. I have a deep interest in and concern for the program. Read about my concerns about the management of the Bike-Ed Program -- subtopics on additional pages:
My position on bicycle facilities and programsI have been an active member of bicycle committees advising on bicycle facilities and programs. I have published a substantial amount of material about them on the Internet. I am moderate on these issues, and flexible within reason, but I take a strong stand on issues of safety and of cyclists' rights. Read more about my positions. How to reach me:My address is: John S.
