Skills & Experience Sought for Board in 2024

The Board Development Committee (BDC) of the HUB Cycling Board of Directors is now soliciting applications for directors from across Metro Vancouver, especially outside the city of Vancouver. This year, we are seeking the following to help increase the diversity and breadth of perspective of our Board:

· people who represent marginalized voices, racialized communities and First Nations;

· new immigrants;

· non-English first language;

· single parents;

· temporary or permanent residents;

· living in precarious house conditions, low-income residents or persons facing financial barriers;

· persons living with visible and/or non-visible disability.

HUB Cycling is committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive organization and to working with people and communities to support them to thrive and prosper. Diversity is integral to this commitment. Diversity among our members, volunteers, staff and the Board allows us to better understand, connect to, and respond to the needs of HUB members and broader communities.
