U.S. Biathlon Announces Three Strategic Alliance Working Groups, Launches Information Page

Share:

Following stakeholder town hall meetings and thoughtful feedback from the biathlon community, U.S. Biathlon, in conjunction with U.S. Ski & Snowboard, is assembling three working groups for input on the Strategic Alliance proposal. It is an opportunity to hear the voices of a range of stakeholders within the two communities and to gather input into what a successful Strategic Alliance would look like and is needed to deliver benefits. The three working groups will focus on the areas that have been consistently on top of people’s minds: High Performance and Athlete Success, Sport Development, and Governance/Biathlon Voice.


Community members can stay up to date on working group progress, learn more through FAQs, and ask their own questions through U.S. Biathlon’s Strategic Alliance website page.
