Twin Cities In Motion Executive Director Virginia Brophy Achman returns to the Running USA Board of Directors, an organization she led as Board President from 2009 to 2012. She is one of eight members recently elected to the board of the national non-profit trade organization for running events and businesses.
Brophy Achman, who has led Twin Cities in Motion since 2000, is nationally respected for her expertise in finance, race operations, community events, and sponsorship negotiation. She was also part of the planning committee for the first National Marathon Safety and Security Summit held last year.
Twin Cities In Motion’s events she leads – which include the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon and tomorrow’s Red, White & Boom! TC Half Marathon and Relay – provide running opportunities for more than 40,000 runners of all ages annually.
“It’s an honour to return to the Running USA board,” Brophy Achman said. “Running USA plays a vital role in the development of distance running in the country, bringing together a wide array of individuals and organizations to share information and determine best practices for the sport of running. I can’t wait to return to the board to share ideas and continue to elevate the sport and grow its potential.”
A complete listing of board members with biographies can be found online.
“We are excited to begin working with our newest board members and continuing to grow Running USA,” the organization’s CEO Rich Harshbarger said. “The collective knowledge of this incoming group is special and something we hope lends itself to expanding our organization.”
