Skills & Experience Sought for Board in 2025 

The Board Development Committee (BDC) of the HUB Cycling Board of Directors is now soliciting applications for directors from across British Columbia. Applications close August 18th at 10:00 AM PST.

We are seeking to increase the diversity of HUB’s Board so it better reflects the communities we serve.

This year, we are particularly focused on the following:

• geographic representation outside Metro Vancouver
• legal, governance, finance/accounting or engineering experience
• people facing social, physical, mental, cultural and/or financial barriers to cycling
   

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.

Time Commitment

Board Directors are expected to spend 15 hours minimum per month on HUB Cycling work, including:

• preparation for and attending Board meetings
• corresponding by email and voting in electronic motions
• fulfilling Action Items from Board meetings
• participating in one Board committee (Regional Advisory Committee, Board Development Committee, and Operations Committee)

Board meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. Typically we alternate monthly between virtual and in-person meetings which are held at the HUB office at 312 Main Street, Vancouver. Virtual attendance option is always available.
