Washington Bikes bid farewell to two valued board members this summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

After seven years of service, Kristin Kinnamon of Marysville stepped down from the board.\u00a0 Her tenure included stints as chair of the Legislative Committee, 2nd Vice President and President.\u00a0 We will miss her leadership and energy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Citing the pressures of a new job, John Whitlow of Bainbridge Island also resigned from the board.\u00a0 He joined the Bicycle Alliance board in 2009. <\/span>
\u00a0<\/span> <\/p>\n

Joe Platzner of Newcastle will fill the spot of 2nd Vice President, which became vacant with Kristin\u2019s departure.\u00a0 Brian Foley of Auburn rounds out the Executive Committee as Secretary.\u00a0 This role opened when Eileen Hyatt, Spokane, moved off the committee.\u00a0 She continues to serve as a board member.<\/span><\/div>\n

As a board member, Kirste is interested in advocating for the creation of communities where it is easier and safer for all kinds of people to bike.\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI\u2019d feel a sense of accomplishment if all members of the Washington legislature no longer refer to bicycling as \u2018alternative\u2019 transportation,\u201d Kirste responded when asked what she\u2019d like to accomplish as a board member.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Kirste lives in Seattle with her partner Chris, owner of Rosebud Bicycle Builds<\/b><\/a>.\u00a0 When she\u2019s not biking, she enjoys cooking, books, movies, hiking, surfing and playing her accordion.<\/div>\n
