I conducted training sessions and webinars for a regional organization of event directors and published a semi-monthly e-newsletter with race management tips. I delivered information about sponsorship and event management at professional conferences for park and recreational professionals, athletic directors, running clubs, and staffs of charities, hospitals, and chambers of commerce.

I led the successful turnaround of a metropolitan-wide association of competitive and recreational runners (I wasn't a runner when I started). We increased income, membership, and program participation, expanded our marathon training, and launched new programs for experienced and beginning runners. We published a monthly magazine, sold sponsorships for races and training programs, and conducted advocacy campaigns to improve conditions on local running paths.
