Why is being a board member of NABSA important to you?
NABSA is our industry’s convener, advocate and educator. We need a strong and vibrant NABSA to increase government investment, address our industry’s pressing problems, and keep our nonprofit, private and government in dialogue and partnership.

I want to continue bringing more value to our members and industry through my board service, and especially by bringing new resources to NABSA. I promise to continue to dedicate myself as a board and committee member to finding more financial resources and innovative solutions.

What experience or insight do you bring to your position on the board?
For the past seven years, I have served in a number of roles to support NABSA’s growth. I currently chair the Development (fundraising) Committee, and previously served as President, Secretary, Research and Data Chair.

In my day job, I manage Portland’s bike share program (BIKETOWN) and transportation demand management programs, along with supervising eight staff at the Portland Bureau of Transportation. In addition, I oversee Adaptive BIKETOWN, the first adaptive bike rental service focused on people with disabilities to be co-branded with a bike share service.
