ABOUT: BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Glenn Howard
Glenn Howard is a consulting engineer with keen interest in renewable energy
and energy efficiency. He is a committee member and former President of the
Namibian Cycling Federation and has managed the occasional Namibian cycling
team to World Championship and All Africa Games events. Glenn is an
infrequent social cyclist, having previously been Namibian road cycling
champion on numerous occasions and having represented Namibia at the All
Africa Games, although there are not too many people about who will remember this.

Glenn is committed to the development of cycling for both transport and recreation and eager to see more appropriate and sustainable modes of transport being used in Namibia. Glenn is both awed and humbled by the
wonderful people of generous spirit who have driven the tremendous growth in
BENN's most noble activities in the short time since its inception.
