WASHINGTON, D.C. (BRAIN) — The League of American Bicyclists board has appointed longtime staff member Bill Nesper as interim executive director following the departure of Alex Doty as executive. In a letter to members Monday from board chair Karen Jenkins, the League said Doty, who was executive director for 16 months, has stepped down to pursue other interests.
Nesper has been with the league 14 years, starting as a membership assistant and progressing to his most recent position as deputy director.
"The opportunity to lead the League through this transformative time now brings me full circle, and I'm excited to work with our excellent members, staff and board to chart a path forward," said Nesper.
The board has begun a search for a permanent executive director.
