The Atlanta Track Club impacts our members and our community because it is a well-governed and well-managed organization with committed, selfless leaders. We will remain so if we continue to attract strong members to our board. We invite you to consider combining your passion for the Atlanta Track Club and its mission with your professional skills and volunteer experience to positively impact the Atlanta community by applying to be considered as a member of the Atlanta Track Club Board of Directors. We also ask you to think hard about other Atlanta Track Club members you think would be outstanding board member candidates, and to encourage them to apply to be nominated.

For the coming year, 2014, the Nominating Committee has identified several key skill sets that will help the Atlanta Track Club meet its strategic goals, and achieve its mission of inspiring and engaging the community to achieve health and fitness through running.
