It's not goodbye, it's
just "see ya later"
T.A. bids a fond farewell to
Sharon Soons, our outstanding Director of Membership and Events. The hundreds
of volunteers who pass through our doors will miss her familiar face and
leadership. Sharon is taking over as Communications Director at the NY League
of Conservation Voters (LCV), the powerful political arm of the statewide
environmental movement. In her 3 1/2 year tenure at T.A., Sharon moved
mountains. She recruited untold volunteers for tasks ranging from creating
computer mapping systems to stuffing envelopes. She rigorously streamlined
T.A.'s membership system and established the NYC Century Bike Tour as one of
the premier rides in the nation. She also created volunteer night, the engine
of T.A.'s mass mailing machine. Not content to rest on her laurels, Sharon has
served as managing editor of this publication and burned the midnight oil to
get it to press on time. This jack of all trades and master of many came to
T.A. from the Tri-State Transportation Campaign. At LCV she continues her
powerful contribution to New York's environmental movement.
T.A. welcomes Seth Asher as
our new Director of Membership and Events. Seth is a core member of T.A.'s
Brooklyn Committee and a ride leader with the Five Borough Bicycle Club. In
his former life he was a financial advisor. Please give Seth a rousing
welcome. Call him to volunteer for T.A.
