      <image:caption>Rob Somogyi Born and raised on Vancouver Island I have witnessed the many changes that have gone on in the evolution of climbing here. I have sat on multiple boards from stratas to associations where I’ve held positions from secretary to president. I currently am part owner of BoulderHouse Climbing and quite connected with the bouldering community. I believe that my board experience, community connections and history with climbing on the island make me an ideal candidate for the SICA board. Thank you in advance for your consideration.</image:caption>

He enjoys exploring new rock, from local areas to remote corners of the island, establishing problems, and sharing his discoveries with the climbing community. He believes in responsible development and stewardship to help preserve climbing opportunities for future generations. James is also the owner of West Coast Resoles, the leading climbing shoe resoling business in Western Canada. Over the past decade, he has built the company into a trusted resource for climbers, staying connected with the wider industry and developing a strong appreciation for the people, places, and relationships that make the island’s climbing community what it is.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Jane Hofweber My 3 best assets: 1. Government experience: I have 15 years of experience working within a government organization. This includes collaborating on multi-year policy and resource management projects with representatives from federal, provincial, and municipal levels of government. 2. Board experience: I served as Secretary for 2 years for the CFB Esquimalt scuba club. Also, I’ve been serving as a Director for SICA for 3.5 years. 3. Climbing relationships: My 20 years of climbing experience in Canada, USA, Cuba, and Switzerland has allowed me to cultivate a wide range of long-term relationships within local and international climbing communities. Notably, I have been interested in learning about the crag access concerns of climbers, Indigenous territory experts, and land managers. Locally, I am a member of the GOATS LGTBQ2S climbers collective, a member (in allyship) of the BIPOC Bloc group, and I am the founder of My Send Peeps (a group that offers cultural safety information and access assistance to outdoor climbing spaces). In my personal life, enhancing diversity, inclusion, and safety is my jam! As a result, I believe climbing access work should address two key questions: Is climbing allowed here? Do climbers feel safe here?</image:caption>

He cares about protecting access by respecting the territory we climb on, working well with land managers, and looking after these places so they last.

      <image:caption>Nicolette might be one of the nerdiest members on SICA's board. Much of her time is devoted to reading adventure books or practicing rope rescue skills on trees, doorways, decks and, whenever possible, actual rock. She's currently devising a plan for how to consistently ice climb while living and working full time in Victoria. Nicolette believes in giving back to the community that's given so much to her. That's why spends every Monday belaying for her friends at CARSA's Adult Adaptive Climbing program and one Wednesday of every month taking notes as SICA's Secretary.</image:caption>
