NOCBAC Speakes at Social Justice Summit CSUF

Saturday the 19th was a busy day for NOCBAC. As well as the Green Scene we were invited to speak for the 4th annual Social Justice Summit at Cal State Fullerton. I (Mike) met with Paul from the The Bicycle Tree and did a work shop on the importances of coalitions and non profits that support bicyclist. We were well received and met some great students who would like to get involved.

Hi everyone and welcome

It's just a start but it will give people a way to see NACBAC in action. I have sent the steering committee an invite to be able to post. I am new to using this but we should be able to get it dialed in quick. This blog can also be place on our new web site when we get to that.
See yah soon,

Who is NOCBAC

NOCBAC is a newly formed bicycle advocacy organization that seeks to promote a safe, enjoyable and convenient environment for bicycling in north Orange County. Our primary approach to achieving this goal is through making government agencies aware of the needs of bicyclists and of opportunities to make their communities bicycle friendly. In order to achieve this goal, we support projects that integrate cycling in local and regional transportation strategies, bicycle events and educational efforts. As we grow and evolve so too will our list of activities and accomplishments.
We are now comprised of a steering committee that meets monthly at Banning’s Bikes in Fullerton and an e-mail list of individuals who want to remain informed of advocacy activities and participate when needed. If you wish to join our e-mail list or participate in the steering committee. Please provide us with your name and e-mail address. MIKE@NOCBAC.ORG
