MY PERSONAL STATEMENT…..
I love everything about cycling. I cycle nearly every day and over 5000 miles a year. I am a passionate advocate of the huge benefits cycling brings, and through my many voluntary commitments have worked to support and encourage many people into cycling. The more people who love it as I do, can only be beneficial for our community, our environment & our health.
As a member and micro volunteer with Cycling UK, I have always been a huge supporter of their work, the campaigning and advocacy and the work in developing cycling routes, which create so many opportunities to cycle.
I play an active role in my community with regards to cycling from running introduction to cycling programmes, leading my local Breeze network giving opportunities for women in cycling, involvement in my local cycling club and more recently being involved with our city Mayor supporting more people cycling in our wonderful city.
I have over 30 years' professional experience, primarily in leadership, HR, learning and organisational development. For the last 15 years, I have been an Executive Director in the charity sector bringing experience in national-level charity management, organisational governance and compliance.
Not only do I love cycling and encouraging others to fall in love with it, I enjoy exploring new routes and writing about my adventures in my cycling blog.
The prospect of being able to share my professional experience alongside my passion for cycling, is an incredible opportunity and I welcome the chance to make a contribution to this amazing charity.
