The current nominees for board member renewals are:

Rachel Nolan
Rachel Nolan is an experienced Director and a passionate advocate for cycling – both for fun and as the key to urban sustainability.
Rachel is Special Advisor at Deloitte Access Economics, a role in which she advises governments on finance and reform and supports organisations including non-profits in their dealings with government. She also Chairs the McKell Institute, a public policy thinktank, is a member of the Australian Government’s Rail Industry Innovation Council and teaches foreign public servants through University of Queensland International Development.
Rachel is a former Queensland Minister for Transport and Finance. In the former role, she was awarded the Cycling Promotion Fund’s award for greatest contribution to cycling by a politician after increasing the state’s active transport infrastructure budget to $100 million a year, a level which has not been replicated since.
Rachel is a recreational rider, mainly on mountain bike. She lives in Ipswich and every year rides the full Brisbane Valley Rail Trail with her young son.

Richard Buning
Dr. Buning’s love of all things cycling began while pursuing his PhD at the University of Florida, where he raced in mountain biking, road, and cyclocross for the university and several amateur teams. Since, he has shifted towards studying how people create active lifestyles through cycling and how communities and events provide opportunities for related tourism.
Now as a Senior Lecturer in the University of Queensland Business School, his research interests reside at the intersection of physical activity, travel, and events. He is focused on how tourists are physically active as both a driver of tourism behaviour (i.e., active lifestyle sports) and during visitation (i.e., active transport). His research closely mirrors his passions in active sport tourism for mountain biking, cycling, running, rock climbing, hiking, and more. His work crosses over to active transport through bikeshare, e-scooters, and more generally micromobility where he is focused on tourism usage and related impacts.
The outcome of his work enables communities, events, and organizations to efficiently market to and attract visitors, encourage physical activity, and improve the related impact to destinations as a form of sustainable tourism. He regularly publishes on these topics and serves as expert to the media and local governments.
