The BTA just announced that Evan Manvel is leaving the organization.
Manvel served two years as the Executive Director and oversaw considerable growth and change during his tenure.
From the BTA Blog:
“It’s been a thrill to see the BTA grow, and biking in Portland and around the state grow with it,” said Manvel. “Many thanks go out to our members, our volunteers, our staff, and our Board of Directors for contributing to that success.”
Citing the gorgeous Oregon summer, Manvel says he plans to take a life sabbatical before deciding what to do next. “While I’ve celebrated my retirement before, I don’t think I’ll call this retirement. People might stop believing me,” Manvel said.
