Boise Bicycle Project

We have a new member on our leadership team - Beth Bishop!

Beth has accepted our Development Director position, and we are thrilled to have her join the team!

Beth is originally from Oklahoma, but spent many years living on the Bristol Bay in a remote town in Alaska with her husband, raising their two girls. They moved from Alaska to Boise in 2019, and she has since worked at the Idaho Justice Project as their Manager of Philanthropy, and joined us after working as the Director of Development for over two years at St. Vincent De Paul. In her free time, Beth loves spending time outdoors walking her dog, working in her garden, and cheering on her kids in all their activities. Beth will be overseeing our fundraising and development operations year-round, including helping us plan another lively Open Streets Boise in September.

If you’re in the shop this, give her a warm hello!
