The retirement of some longtime board members means that only one incumbent (Joe Rodrigues) is running for the FOUR board seats we’re electing. There’s going to be some big changes in the board’s makeup, and we are thrilled to have a group of qualified candidates running for those seats.  Each NEBRA club or Race Director will receive voting instructions on 1/23, and have until 1/29 to submit their votes. The results will be announced on 1/30.

The four Board of Director seats up for election this year were held by Paul Boudreau, Dana Prey, Joe Rodrigues and Laura Summers. Joe is seeking re-election, the other three directors are not. For 2019, the candidates for the NEBRA Board of Directors are:

Lydia Hausle – Candidate Statement

Michael Norton – Candidate Statement

Joe Rodrigues (incumbent) – Candidate Statement

The NEBRA Board has seven directors who are elected for two year terms. Terms are staggered with 4 seats being elected this year, and three next year. Directors may serve for up to three consecutive two year terms.  Requirements for Board Members include participation in monthly conference calls and some limited in person meetings over the course of the year. As a USA Cycling contracted Local Association, all Board Members must pass a background check (paid for by NEBRA) and participate in the SafeSport education program (no charge).
