Our New President
Mary Lu Carpenter
The BOBbies board of directors is pleased to announce that longtime cyclist, runner and triathlete Mary Lu Carpenter has been unanimously elected as president of our cycling club. A registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator, Mary Lu speaks to groups on health and nutrition for athletes. In addition to management experience as a supervisory dietician at the Orlando VA medical center, she has served as president of her professional organization, the East Central Florida Dietician Association. Mary Lu will complete the term of past president Kristin Inderweisen, who recently resigned from her post.
"My experience in a managerial role and as a president of a professional organization gives me the skill to help our organization stay on task and progress with our mission and goal," she said recently.
She started her term as president with the following pledge: I have had such a positive experience with the Bobbies. Although I was a rider, I joined the group with elementary biking and pacelining skills. Even though I felt I made every error out there, I found the patience, kindness and friendship I found with the Bobbies kept me riding. I appreciate being around strong lively women and I appreciate the opportunity to aid other women in their quest to be active and strong.
