Eric Monek Anderson

Chair

For Eric Monek Anderson (Oakland), cycling is about fun and the freedom to get around independently. He recognizes, however, that there are many impediments to ensuring that all communities and people in the East Bay have the same freedom to get around safely and on their terms. He admires Bike East Bay for its commitment to racial and social equity in cycling and transportation, and its ability to have fun. Eric lives in North Oakland with his wife Caitlin and is a lawyer with Farella, Braun + Martel, a San Francisco-based firm specializing in business law. He first got into cycling through (almost) all-season bike commuting in Chicago, and loves riding around the roads and trails of the East Bay.

Corey Busay

Vice Chair

Corey Busay resides in Berkeley and gets around nearly everywhere by bicycle or public transportation, and is thrilled to help spread the joy of biking to all! He was unusually excited when he devised a convenient way to get to and from Truckee for snowboarding car-free, as well as being able to successfully load up an entire Thanksgiving meal for 10 people (turkey included!) on his (non cargo) bike. He looks forward to helping with new Bike East Bay initiatives like bike valet and bike trailer rentals to make it easier for more people to choose biking for their everyday tasks. Professionally, Corey works as a Portfolio Manager at a leading asset management company, where he leads the local office “Green Team Network.” Corey is also a Zero Waste Commissioner for the City of Berkeley.

Hydeh Ghaffari

Treasurer

I am a retired CPA. During my 30+ years career, I served nonprofit organizations. I serve as CFO on the board of Vesper Society and in the past served on the boards of Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation, East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation and A Better Way. Having lived and raised my daughters in Oakland, after retirement, I was ready to concentrate on enjoying life with my family, especially my grandchildren. Biking, running, playing golf and tennis, traveling, and grandchildren sitting became my focus and enjoyment. Unfortunately, I lost one of my grandchildren to a bike accident and became an advocate for bike and pedestrian safety. Hopefully soon, I will be able to enjoy riding a bike again. I am excited and honored to serve on the board of Bike East Bay, an organization that helped my family to find meaning in the loss of our 4-year-old Maia.

I’m a seasoned transportation policy professional with over a decade of public and private sector experience advancing transportation policy solutions to achieve safe, sustainable, and equitable cities.

Cailin Notch

Location

I joined Bike East Bay as a board member because I am passionate about biking’s important role in creating more sustainable, equitable, and joyful cities. I have a background in city planning, and currently work as Greenbelt Alliance’s East Bay Resilience Manager where I work across partners and jurisdictions in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties to forge a collective vision for resilience that integrates equity, conservation, and abundant housing. When I’m not working, I love to sing and recently joined the Oakland Interfaith Community Choir. I also love exploring new places, cracking jokes with friends, and ghost stories. I have a deep love for the East Bay, and I am excited to serve on this board and be a part of the movement to build thriving communities!

Kelsey Ring

Board Member

For me, biking has been more than just a mode of transportation, it has encouraged exploration, independence, and community building. As a dedicated advocate for environmental sustainability and social justice, I believe in the power and practice of community engagement to drive positive change. With over a decade of experience in nonprofit program management, community organizing, and environmental activism, I am thrilled to use these skills to uplift Bike East Bay’s education and advocacy programs.

Kristen Contreras

Board Member

Biking is my joy. Oakland is my adopted home. Together those things mean a great deal to me, and Bike East Bay was one of the first ways I encountered that expanded my love of both when I moved here from SoCal. Although I began my career as a CPA and I absolutely love accounting, I now also wield the awesome power of data modeling to produce beautiful information in the form of financial reporting and data automation. I hope to bring all three to bear (accounting & finance, data analysis, and a love for biking) to help the organization forward its core tenets of justice, community, advocacy, and education.

Liam O’Suilleabhain

Board Member

I love Bike East Bay because I always have fun with the people I meet there and because I believe in the mission of the organization. I am particularly interested in exploring options for quick build demonstration projects and how to conform to NACTO and city standards in implementing them. I want to be a Board member because I believe there is a need for more engaged activism in my neighborhood and I want to see Bike East Bay represented and thriving here.

Matt Richmond

Board Member

Having been car free in the East Bay taught me a lot about the current state of our transportation network and gave me a unique feeling of freedom I was not expecting. I was inspired by a lot of what I saw while taking transit and biking around the East Bay. So much so I switched career paths to begin working for BART, continuing to nurture my transit obsession. I enjoy using my data analytics skills to better understand demographics of transit ridership, using my knowledge of the streets to help plan safe routes to points of interest, staying up to date on urban planning best practices and putting to work my general hands-on attitude to help out when things need doing.

Sean Funcheon

Board Member

Born and raised in the East Bay and currently residing in the Cherryland neighborhood of unincorporated Hayward, I am a strong labor and transportation advocate. I cut my teeth advocating with the Alameda Labor Council on pro labor initiatives as well as a little campaigning for the SF Mayor’s Race. I am a graduate of UC Berkeley Rhetoric program but what I am more proud of is a Chabot College graduate. I am currently a committee advocate for the Hayward Area Recreation District as well as an Account Executive for Samsara. When I am not working you can find me at the farmers market or chilling with my two cats Kang and Kodos. My passions are increasing alternative forms of transportation and thus creating a more equitable, safer, and healthier world!

Sunny Lee

Board Member

Along with my commitment to cycling, I bring strong skills in data analysis, visualization, and an understanding of urban economics. As an empirical microeconomist, I analyze data to inform decisions and policy, translating findings into actionable recommendations. My academic background in local governance and urban development has deepened my interest in how cycling policies shape community growth. I’m eager to contribute to policy discussions that align with Bike East Bay’s mission.
