About the Board

The Adventure Cycling Association Board of Directors is responsible for the governance, strategic direction, and financial performance of Adventure Cycling.  The Board carries out these responsibilities by establishing policies and guidelines, approving the annual budget, and providing management oversight.

Specifically, the Board:

• Elects Board officers;
• Selects the Executive Director and evaluates performance;
• Approves the long-range plan and annual plan;
• Approves capital and corporate expense budgets;
• Monitors Adventure Cycling's operating performance;
• Determines the distribution and investment of profits;
• Monitors the performance of Adventure Cycling’s investments;
• Periodically reviews and updates Adventure Cycling’s committee charters and policies.

The Board of Directors operates with three active committees, including:

• Executive
• Governance
• Finance

The Board generally meets three times per year in January, May, and September, or at such other convenient time as may be fixed by the Board. Committee meetings vary depending on the specific committee.

An annual meeting of the Board of Directors is held in January of each year for the purpose of electing Directors, and for the transaction of other business as may come before the meeting. Special meetings of the Board may be called by the Executive Director, or at the request of two Directors.
