BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Run Ottawa is governed by a Board of Directors who oversee the organization’s events and activities. The board is made up of volunteer members who are elected every November at Run Ottawa’s Annual General Meeting (AGM).
At the AGM, the Board of Directors and Run Ottawa staff will report on the past year of operations, ranging from the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend to the other Run Ottawa Club races and activities. Members will be asked to elect nominees to fill vacant positions on the Board. The AGM is also an opportunity to ask questions of the Board regarding the organization’s activities.
