  • Reggie Miller five-time NBA All-Star and 1994 FIBA champion, Miller won an Olympic Gold medal while playing for the 1996 U.S. team. In 2012, Miller was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA. Since retiring from the NBA, Miller has turned to competitive mountain biking. He focuses on cross country and endurance racing.
  • Brendan Quirk, CEO of Bentonville, AK-based bike brand Allied Cycle Works, who cofounded Competitive Cyclist in Arkansas and later served as an executive vice president at Backcountry.com, North American president of Rapha and the cycling program director for Runway Group.

The USA Cycling Board of Directors voted on new bylaws and Board structure in a December 1 vote with the approval of the new Board members coming at the December 8 Board meeting.

Along with the new additions, the restructuring gives the Board a focus on athlete input directly to the group with athlete representation accounting for four of the twelve voting seats.

“USA Cycling has taken great measures to put the athlete first,” said Alison Tetrick, the Road Athlete Director. “With the new structure, athlete input directly to the Board becomes stronger and is exciting for the future of the organization.”
