“We’re incredibly grateful for the support from our 10 inaugural Legacy Members,” said Dr. Gabe Cagwin, president and chief advancement officer of the USA Triathlon Foundation. “They’ve helped make it possible for the Foundation to transform lives through sport by providing opportunities for all to swim, bike and run.”
Our inaugural Legacy Member class includes:

“We’re delighted to extend this honor for outstanding service to the Board,” said Stephen Ban, chair of the USA Triathlon Foundation Board of Trustees. “Through this special membership, our Legacy Members will continue to make an impact on the sport they love.”
Legacy Members are invited to continue their participation in the Foundation’s governance at a non-voting level. They will participate in activities, committees and meetings at a level that is comfortable for them.
Each year, the Board of Trustees may nominate and vote on potential additional Legacy members.
