I’d love to know more as to what resources would be most helpful to you. Our aim is that the Forum and national events are just one component of a larger, evolving program. If you could ask for, say, three things from the Women Bike program, what would they be?

It is all the usual people. Reach out to the really little gals – like me. I can’t afford to attend this event, and was rejected for money to attend. Your event is so focused on the big organizations that you are not getting to those of us in the trenches. My shop brought in $22K last year – and we gave away 755 bicycles! There is no extra money to travel to attend events. You should be spending the money to provide resources to people like me rather than big, glitzy national events that are unaffordable for those of us that work with the most needy.
