https://www.delasallenorth.org/ idea from KP - Getting good vibes from Black running groups regarding RRCA’s commitment to not only meet with over 20 community and running leaders of color to study how best RRCA efforts can affect to running community including their over 20 programs, rather than knee jerk reaction that USATF and other sports leagues have done when publishing black and white statements without follow up. Outcomes will be forthcoming early August.

- ORRC race event schedule’s future - All
- Discussion - Continuing current 15 annual events - carryover from June
*Runner reluctance in 2021 *2019 P&L, coded by profit/loss and participation *What events do we want to keep going forward? Replicate previous races or change things moving forward? *Survey ORRC membership
- Pandemic effects gives rise to this subject
- 15 events - 30 years
- Same events last 20 years
- We would not expect in 2050 to have the same schedule as today.
- World has changed - market runs now by selling the experience, all our competitors became operational during the 30 years
- years window - their business had to come from somewhere - us and growing demographics. Different cost models, even in the last decade.
- TT and other races subsidize our lost leaders.
- 2019 - lost $30K after adjustments, notwithstanding any change. $30K in 2020 - begs the questions
- ORRC reserves are like a personal 401K plan - if personal 401K isn’t profitable, we personally changed the investments. ORRC’s “investments” in our races should be treated the same.
- List running events profitability status
- Suggest which running events should be considered eliminated
- RD comments
- Have RD comments in writing
- Request member survey input
- Analyze data
- Stephen will send informal survey to board in a couple weeks to get board reflection

- How can we take advantage of our non profit in this new world’s culture and climate? - Steve
- Public trust is the currency of our nation’s nonprofit sector.
- The public’s belief that nonprofits will “do the right thing” is one of the central reasons the nonprofit sector exists.
- Communities rely on nonprofits to provide trusted sources of information and health services.
- Communities feel more positive about nonprofits when they have a personal connection to an organization, like ORRC
- Many local nonprofits have used their status as a rallying cry for support - many have increased giving during the pandemic.
- How can ORRC use our status to our advantage to distinguish ourselves from the rest of the pack.
- Asked the board to think about what was said and respond at the August meeting.
- ORRC can provide expertise,
equipment support for organizations looking to launch events.
