"We've just concluded our 10th annual industry conference, the most well-received event to-date. In the wake of its success, as well as the continuing growth and stability of this great organization, many of the goals that I set when I became CEO of Running USA have been achieved. With a secure infrastructure in place, the time is right to announce my retirement," said Susan Weeks, Running USA CEO. "I will cherish my time with Running USA."
During her five-year tenure, the Running USA budget doubled in size, its popular annual conference set attendance and sponsor records and its membership sits at an all-time high.
"Since taking the helm as CEO 5 years ago, Susan has helped make Running USA an industry leader and an example to non-profits everywhere. Her service to Running USA is greatly appreciated and I will miss Susan's leadership and mentorship. We look forward to the organization's future with our new CEO," said Kevin Callahan, Running USA President.
