The Iowa Bicycle Coalition turns 20 this year and has a new executive director at the helm to continue its legacy of promoting safe and enjoyable cycling throughout the state of Iowa.
Since 2004, the Iowa Bicycle Coalition has played a vital role in “influencing policy decisions, advocating for infrastructure improvements, and fostering a culture of cycling across Iowa,” all with the goal of creating a more bike-friendly community.
When the executive director position came open, many in the organization encouraged Luke Hoffman to apply. With his passion for cycling and his background in nonprofit management, it seemed the perfect position for him.
“As the previous director retired after serving for 19 years, we are pleased to have hired Luke. He brings a different dimension to the organization and inspires us, making us think bigger. It’s one of the most exciting things [for us] right now,” said Cory Scott, president of the coalition’s board of directors.
