Key Duties and Responsibilities

Level of Authority

BikeWorks is our oldest, largest, and most visible project and is quite often the first exposure many individuals have to EBC so it is essential that their first experience is a positive one.

It is essential that the staff and volunteers are capable of dealing with a diverse group of people in a friendly and professional manner so training in both technical aspects and human relations is a continuing key to success.

BikeWorks does have an operating budget to cover its operations. Purchases outside of budget guidelines need to be approved by the EBC Board.
