It’s true!\u00a0 I’m retiring and this time I really mean it!<\/p>\n

In 2007, I left the Bicycle Alliance to travel in France with my husband and friends.\u00a0 I worked briefly as a consultant, and hated it.\u00a0 Then I tried my hand in program implementation at Seattle Children’s Hospital, and loved it. Except…I missed bicycle advocacy and the day to day excitement and enthusiasm of growing bicycling statewide.<\/p>\n

What has changed since I returned in 2010?\u00a0 What’s changed is me and my priorities!\u00a0 My daughter is expecting; she lives in Portland with her husband, and I want to spend a lot of time there.<\/p>\n

More travel is in my future: my husband Andy and I absolutely love long distance bike touring and will combine train and bikes to see\u00a0more of the \u00a0national parks.\u00a0 We’ll help with outreach along the US Bicycle Route System.\u00a0 I’ll spend more time gardening, more time with friends, more time reading, and of course, I’ll have a grandchild to teach about the joys of bicycling!<\/p>\n

I’m super excited about the direction the Bicycle Alliance is moving with outreach, legislation, and programs around the state.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0We have a great staff, and a wonderful board of directors sprinkled all across the state.\u00a0 Check our\u00a0website<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0for the job posting, apply or forward it to a great candidate.<\/p>\n

This isn’t\u00a0 “so long”; \u00a0it’s more like \u00a0“I’m rolling along down the road in search of another adventure!”<\/p>\n
