Liz Hall from the Bicycle Coalition of Maine will be our speaker this Friday.
Liz grew up in central Vermont, mountain biking around the Green Mountain National Forest almost every day of the summer. She was a Rotary Exchange Student from 2003-2004 in Normandie, France, and still touts this experience as being one of the most formative of her life. After graduating from George Washington University in 2008 and working in Washington, D.C., the years thereafter, she moved to Portland in late 2012, and began working for the Bicycle Coalition of Maine in January 2013.
Liz took charge of the Coalition's event and development programs in January 2014, and loves working as the event director for the Great Maine Bike Swaps in Orono and Portland, the Maine Women's Ride in Freeport, and the Maine Lobster Ride in Rockland. She is the volunteer coordinator for the Coalition's week-long BikeMaine ride, taking place September 12-19, 2015.
What she loves most about bicycling is the community-building and economic impact this beloved pastime has on Maine's towns and cities. She will present to the Portland Rotary Club on the economic benefits of bicycling, as well as the upcoming BikeMaine ride, which infused over $395,000 into Maine's economy in 2014!
