LAB 2003 election irregularities

The 2003 election of directors for the League of American Bicyclists was marred by serious irregularities and by the possibility of outright fraud committed by a faction comprising seven of the directors.  These directors seemed to be more interested in the concerns of outside allies than in the welfare of League members.  Three of the directors who interfered in the election are still on the board as of 2007.  One of them was president in 2006.

So far as we know, none of these directors has ever apologized to the members for their actions, or admitted any wrongdoing — not even “mistakes”.  Whether you agree with the goals of these directors, their action raises serious questions about their integrity and whether they are fit to serve.
