Charlottesville, VA – Charlottesville Community Bikes (CCB) is excited to announce the appointment of Kevin Winchell as its new Executive Director. Kevin brings a wealth of leadership experience and a deep passion for community engagement, environmental sustainability, and cycling to the role. His appointment marks a new chapter for CCB as the organization continues to expand its services and support to Charlottesville and surrounding areas.
Kevin joins CCB from Stetson University, where he led the civic and community engagement team, partnering with local non-profits to address economic, racial, health, educational, and climate challenges. Kevin has also been heavily involved in community outside of the workplace, having served on the boards of numerous nonprofit and civic groups. In recognition of his outstanding contributions to Stetson University and the local community, Kevin was recently named Staff Member of the Year for the university.
With his extensive leadership experience and demonstrated societal impact, Kevin is poised to lead CCB into its next phase, ensuring continued access to bicycles for all members of the Charlottesville community and advocating for environmentally sustainable transportation.
“Bikes are freedom, and I am thrilled to join Charlottesville Community Bikes and get more bikes to more people,” said Winchell. “I look forward to getting to know the community, and am confident that by working alongside our extraordinary staff and supporters we will enhance the work of CCB and make sure that we are helping address some of the most pressing challenges facing the greater Charlottesville community.”
Lauren Riegl, who has been a pivotal leader at CCB and guided the organization’s growth, will continue at CCB as Director of Development. Her expertise in fundraising and relationship-building will be key to ensuring that CCB’s initiatives continue to thrive and expand. Lauren will work closely with Kevin, donors, and local organizations to support CCB’s mission.
“I’m excited to continue working with our incredible staff and to collaborate with Kevin as we grow CCB’s impact,” said Riegl. “Our work remains as important as ever, and I look forward to strengthening the partnerships that sustain and grow our mission.”
