DORBA appoints two new board members

DORBA is thrilled to welcome two powerhouse leaders to the board this May. 

Philip Haigh, our new Director of Strategic Planning, brings an extraordinary depth of vision to this role. As Executive Director of The Loop Dallas — the 50-mile managed trail circuit reshaping how an entire city moves — Philip understands better than almost anyone that trails are not an amenity, they are infrastructure. His track record of turning bold ideas into tangible, city-scale realities is exactly the kind of thinking DORBA needs as we look ahead.

Joining him is Sean Laughlin, our new Director of Strategic Partnerships, who is no stranger to this community. From championing the build of Creekside MTB Park to producing the DORBA MTB Festival at 4R Ranch, Sean has already left his fingerprints all over what makes riding in DFW so special — and now he's got a seat at the table to do even more.

With these two in the fold, we enter the second half of 2026 with serious momentum and some significant moves in the works that we can't wait to share with you. Let's just say: the trails you love are about to get a whole lot better. Stay tuned.
