Twin Cities In Motion to Launch Search to Fill Newly Created President Position

New position to expand scope, growth potential of organization

MINNEAPOLIS, March 18, 2015 -- Twin Cities In Motion, the nonprofit organizer of the regions premier running events, including the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon, today announced that it is creating a new leadership position of President with the goal of expanding the organizations scope.

This newly created position will be a full-time, paid executive position, responsible for leading the strategy and growth of the organization. Currently, this role is filled by a volunteer Board member who also serves as Board Chair and CEO. With this change, the volunteer Board Chair will continue to lead the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will launch a search to fill the President position and expects to have the position filled in the next three to six months.

Through prudent management of the organizations resources, Twin Cities In Motion is in the position of being able to invest in its growth, said Charlie Fazio, Chair of the Board of Directors. This change will allow the organization to expand in new ways, furthering its reach and its ability to fulfill its mission of promoting healthy lifestyles through running events and community outreach.

While TCM explores new avenues for expansion, it will also continue its current work of inspiring fitness and wellness, one mile at a time, among children, families, individuals and corporations through its 21 race events.

This is an exciting step forward for our organization that will allow us both to deepen our focus on races and expand our scope, said Twin Cities In Motion Executive Director Virginia Brophy Achman. There have been a series of transformations in the organizations evolution, including switching from volunteer to staff management, expanding from a fall event to year-round races, and growing our Top 10 marathon to a weekend with 30,000 participants. We will look back on this change as one in this series of investments that propelled us to the next level of what we do.
