We are a small organization with 3 staff: one full-time, one half-time, and one part-time. Rebecca Serna is the full-time Executive Director, Ali Mangkang is the half-time Outreach Manager, and Neil Walker is the part-time Bike Valet Manager.

Other positions are generously held by volunteers, including Jenna Lee, Starter Bikes Coordinator and Joe Slade, Education Program Coordinator.

This summer, we have two interns, Elizabeth Allen Perkins and Drue Hocker. Elizabeth is our Public Health intern, researching best practices in encouraging cycling and improving the safety of biking. Drue is our Advocacy intern, and will be working with the Advocacy Committee to implement our plan to make the city more bike-friendly.

Please read more for individual bios.

ABC's board and members voted to change our name to Atlanta Bicycle Coalition to reflect our belief that it will take a community-wide effort to create a bicycle-friendly Atlanta. We remain deeply committed to the advocacy work implied in "campaign" but within the framework of a coalition of organizations, businesses, government and individuals working together to effect change. As Albert Einstein observed, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.” If you would like to join the coalition to keep Atlanta moving (by bike), please contact us to learn more.
