After a long process that began in early August, the BTA Board of Directors is very happy to announce that the most-qualified candidate for the position of Executive Director is our own Scott Bricker, who has been Interim ED since late July. The ED Search Committee received applications from strong candidates across the country and Canada, and interviewed all of the most highly-qualified. The results of the national search and interview process confirmed our confidence in Scott’s abilities to lead the BTA effectively. We’re very pleased that he has accepted the position of Executive Director, and know that his experience in building relationships with the community, our stakeholders, and government bodies ensures that the BTA will continue to be a strong advocate for opening minds and roads to bicycling.
Congratulations to both Scott Bricker and the BTA! I have known Scott for many years and have always found him open to ideas and interests and the right man to lead the BTA forward.
We at the Washington County Bicycle Transportation Coalition (WashCo BTC) look forward to improving our relationship with the BTA and trust Scott to provide the leadership the BTA is recognized for.

Chair, WashCo BTC
