Road Runners Club of America Executive Director Announces Resignation
National Search Underway
May 2, 2005 - The RRCA Executive Director, Becky Lambros has announced she
will end her tenure soon after this year’s annual meeting (May 12-15) in
New Orleans, LA.
Since early 2004 when Lambros joined the RRCA, she was integrally involved
with the merger with AARC, secured significant sponsorship, including
adding new RRCA sponsors Dermik and Michelob Ultra, aided in moving the
RRCA from the red to the black financially, raised RRCA visibility and
continued the awarding of Roads Scholarships (five athletes in 2005).
"While it was a challenge, I feel during my time with the RRCA, I was able
to aid in restoring the stature and stability of the RRCA and as I hand
over the reins, it is now poised to move to the next level," said Lambros.
"Becky's stewardship and efforts during a critical period in the RRCA’s
history will always be appreciated and remembered," said RRCA President Bee
Andrews.
RRCA Board Member, Lisa Paige, has been appointed to head a committee that
is conducting a national search. The RRCA expects to have a new Executive
Director in place by late summer. Interested applicants may contact Paige
at or 303.829.0242.
"Thanks to the great financial strides we have made and the RRCA/AARC
merger, members can rest assured the RRCA administrative apparatus will
operate smoothly through the transition," said Andrews.
The Road Runners Club of America is a non-profit organization of over 670
running clubs and 160,000 members across the United States. The RRCA local
chapters organize races, training runs, provide safety guidelines, promote
children's and masters fitness running programs, and conduct social
programs.
