As an organization, American Whitewater is fortunate to have a committed group of volunteer Board
of Directors that provides the organization with high-level oversight and strategic direction. To
sustain this healthy and vibrant Board, an effective election process is in place to insure an
appropriate transition of Directors over time. This transition process balances the need for
fresh ideas with appropriate leadership continuity. Our recent elections concluded on December
15, 2013. Over 500 current members cast their votes for new Directors.
New Directors starting their terms in January 2014 include Brent Austin from Kentucky and Trey
Coleman from Tennessee. Chris Bell and Chris Hest were also reelected to serve as Directors. A
very special thank you goes out to Dave Cernicek and Norwood Scott for their years of service as
outgoing AW Board members. A complete list of Directors is available here.
