Rich Moeller Selected as New Executive Director

The League of Michigan Bicyclists is pleased to announce the selection of Rich Moeller of Pulaski, PA, as LMB's Executive Director. Rich comes to LMB from a 36-year career as a YMCA administrator and as a tireless and effective promoter of bicycling. Over the past 27 years he has spearheaded the creation of dozens of bicycle organizations, programs and events. His current service as president of the Lawrence County (PA) Cycling Club, and past service as Vice Chair of the Minnesota State Bicycle Advisory Board, are just two items from his vast cycling resume. We are elated to bring Rich on board to lead LMB. He brings to us an extraordinary combination of management skill and experience, passion for bicycling, understanding of how to make a community and state bicycle-friendly, and boundless energy.Says Rich, "I can think of no better way to use the skills I have developed in my YMCA career than to channel them into what has been my life-long passion -- bicycling. I relish the opportunity to promote bicycling and the rights of bicyclists in Michigan."

For the last three years, Rich has been employed as CEO of the Shenango Valley YMCA in Hermitage, PA, where he directs bicycle camps for children and regularly cycles to work. Over the previous 17 years, he served as chief executive of YMCA facilities in New York City, northern Indiana and northern Minnesota. Wherever his YMCA career has taken him, he has been heavily involved in local bicycling activities.

Rich succeeds the late Lucinda Means, who passed away unexpectedly in April of 2005.
