⁠World Bicycle Relief - The Power of Bicycles

World Bicycle Relief mobilizes people through The Power of Bicycles. They are committed to helping people conquer the challenge of distance, achieve independence, and thrive. In this presentation, we'll look at the connection between bicycles and education, gender equity, health care, and economic development.

Our speaker, Dave Neiswander, joined World Bicycle Relief (WBR) in 2007, and in January 2018 was appointed CEO after serving other roles, including nine years as Africa Director of the organization. Based in Zambia for six years and South Africa for three years, Dave helped build the foundational elements of the organization including program design, partnership engagement, geographic expansion, and the Buffalo Bicycle social enterprise strategy.

Prior to joining WBR, Dave had a fifteen-year career in investment banking and was a Senior Vice President at FBR Capital Markets in Washington, D.C. Dave has a Bachelor of Science in Business from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
