BISC Elections

BISC Elections

The business of the Bus Industry Safety Council (BISC) is governed by an Executive Committee. The Executive Committee coordinates the work flow and direction of the BISC Standing Committees and plans each of the education sessions for the Winter and Summer BISC meetings (and BISC West) as well as periodic webinars/conference calls.

Each year, the members of the BISC elect a portion of the Executive Committee to serve in this leadership role. The terms of the Executive Committee members are staggered to assist with the continuity in planning for BISC education sessions and events, as well as to also ensure a constant infusion of fresh talent, ideas, and new safety leaders.

The positions listed below are up for election for 2-year terms running for 2025-2026. As we have done in past years, the BISC will again be holding an online election to select new members to join our BISC leadership. Nominations are due by December 30, 2024. Email if you are interested in being considered for any of the open positions, please email bisc@buses.org with a statement of interest.

Voting is now open! Please submit your vote by COB on January 24, 2025.

A word from our Candidate: As the current Chair of the Human Performance Committee for BISC, I have tried to keep fleet operators interest in drivers and driver related issues as a top priority for the Safety Council’s educational content.  I first got introduced to BISC at its first-ever BISC West meeting and have participated in the operations and activities of a number of BISC committees ever since. I enjoy bring a different perspective as a west coast operator and the operator of a public entity fleet to our various discussions and events.
