John Vander Sluis<\/span><\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

If you\u2019ve phoned or dropped by our office recently, you\u2019ll know the Bicycle Alliance has had some staff transitions.\u00a0 We are pleased to welcome John Vander Sluis and Jay Steingold as the new kids on the block.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
John joined our staff in September as the manager for our King County Safe Routes to School project.\u00a0 Funded by the King County Department of Public Health, John\u2019s project targets underserved communities in the south county area where barriers to walking and biking are high.<\/div>\n
A graduate of the University of Washington Urban Planning and Public Administration programs, John has held positions with the City of Seattle, King County, and the Snoqualmie Sustainability Team.\u00a0 He spends his spare time mountain biking, camping, and climbing with his wife Anu.<\/span><\/div>\n

Jay Steingold<\/i><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

2010 has been a year of milestones for Jay Steingold.\u00a0 He got married in May, graduated from the University of Washington in June, did a cross-country road trip for two months, then landed at the Bicycle Alliance office last week.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Jay will be managing Bike Port and the King County Metro bike lockers, as well as provide operations support.\u00a0 A Kirkland native, Jay previously worked at Richard Hugo House and Artist Trust.\u00a0 He has a degree in Creative Writing.<\/span><\/div>\n
And we bid a fond farewell to Every Day and Katie Ferguson.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Katie Ferguson<\/i><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

In November, Katie Ferguson completed her AmeriCorps internship with us.\u00a0 Katie developed a Volunteer recruitment and management program for us.\u00a0 Since the completion of her internship, Katie has done some contract work for the Bicycle Alliance.\u00a0 You can read Katie\u2019s blog post<\/b><\/a> about her year with us.<\/span><\/div>\n

Every Day<\/i><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

After three years with the Bicycle Alliance, Every Day is moving on to new adventures.\u00a0 She has professionally managed and improved the Bike Port bike parking facility during her tenure with us. Early next year, she will set off on a nomadic adventure and test her entrepreneurial skills.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
