“It’s an honor to be recognized by the USOPC and our fellow national governing bodies for the work we are doing with United We Row,” said USRowing CEO Amanda Kraus, who accepted the award in Colorado Springs November 14.
“With the vision of having a seat in the boat for everyone, USRowing strives to eliminate barriers that keep rowers and coaches off the water. This recognition is a testament to the hard work of our community and team. It inspires us to continue our work and to make rowing more diverse and accessible to everyone.”
The USOPC Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Awards recognize national governing bodies (NGBs) for outstanding efforts to achieve diversity, equity and inclusion. The USOPC honors two NGBs annually and presents each a trophy and $5,000.
USRowing won the award when it was introduced in 2015 and also in 2016 and 2022.
