Thunderhead Mutual Aid Conference Calls
The leaders of Thunderhead Alliance member organizations include many experts on various aspects of organizational development and bicycle and pedestrian advocacy. Thunderhead’s Mutual Aid program connects leaders with each other either for personal sharing of expertise and insight or through the convening of conference calls to learn from experts in our own community. Thunderhead’s Mutual Aid services are available free to leaders of Thunderhead Alliance member organizations. Whether you’re a veteran advocate or just getting started we know that you’ll have something to share and something to learn on any of our Mutual Aid conference calls.

Thunderhead Retreat
Thunderhead was founded at our first retreat for bicycle advocacy leaders in 1996. Today, we continue the tradition of bringing together bicycle and pedestrian advocacy leaders from across the country for 3 days of networking, learning, and fun. At our biannual retreats, expect hard work at professional and organizational advancement in interactive workshops and plenary sessions and be rewarded with lots of optional recreation, campfires, a grand finale party, and a big group bike ride to the ProWalk/ProBike conference on the final day. For all you do year-round as an advocate, you deserve the Thunderhead retreat!
