Five months after Elizabeth Kiker announced her resignation, Cascade Bicycle Club and Washington Bikes have released the job listing for the joint organization’s next Executive Director.

Cascade Bicycle Club was already the largest regional bike organization in the nation even before merging with WA Bikes in December 2015. Now it is the largest statewide bike organization.

The new ED will oversee 40 staff members (including, full disclosure, my incredible spouse Kelli) and a $5.6 million budget, according to the extended job listing (PDF). The organization also claims more than 17,000 members. Compared to other bike organizations in the country, Cascade and WA Bikes are in a league of their own.

The position will be open until filled. More details from Cascade/WA Bikes:
