Question: how is your community bike organization structured?
There is more than one way to do everything so how is your community bike organization structured? Please respond!
For example:
Traditional 501(c)(3) non-profit with a board and executive director? 501(c)(3) non-profit where the by-laws re-allocate the powers of the "board" to a different group or people? 501(c)(3) on the books, but that is as far as it goes? For-profit? Worker owned? Consensus based? Flying under the radar? Other?
Obviously the traditional non-profit route is a common one, but I would like to document other create ways that organizations can be structured on the wiki.

The mission of the Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective is to promote cycling as an effective and sustainable form of transportation and as a cornerstone of a cleaner, healthier, and safer society.

501(c)(3) non-profit where the by-laws re-allocate the powers of the "board" to a different group or people... Our board is comprised of elected collective members, and is mainly a board in name. All decision-making falls to the coordinating collective.

Not-for-profit Society of Alberta. I think the term up here is always 'not-for-profit', I'm not sure where this society thing comes into play in different provinces however. All members have equal decision-making power, however responsibility if things don't get done falls to the board. We are 100% volunteer run. Members of the board are chosen each year at the AGM and submitted to the government of Alberta. .godwin (of the Bike Root)
