Board

The Board of Bicycle NSW is an essential part of the Governance structure of Bicycle NSW.  Just as a traditional Board represents the shareholders of an organisation, the Board of Bicycle NSW represents the members of Bicycle NSW.  Each year, elections are held to determine which Bicycle NSW members will fill the positions vacated by members whose term has expired.

Board members provide Bicycle NSW with contacts and expertise across a variety of industries, helping to make Bicycle NSW a focused and professional organisation.  The time and effort invested by the Board members is invaluable and yet is provided free of charge.
